Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving...

And i'm flying the space station tonight in support of Russian EVA #17. Two crew members will take an evening stroll in outer space tonight to play some golf and fix a few other things. The last golf stunt to take place in the space program was Alan Shepard's drive on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission. Tonight, the Russian cosmonaut will take a whack at a golf ball from the ISS for a commercial endeavor. It should be interesting...The golf ball should remain in orbit for 2-4 days before re-entering the atmosphere--for the longest golf shot in history...or something like that.

Tomorrow will be my first holiday since the heather incident. I don't think this one will bother me as much as Christmas will. In fact, i've decided that i'm not doing any Christmas decorating this year (heather used to do it all). I don't want to crawl into the attic and pull down all those memories. So, my house will be devoid of all things Christmas...

I hope that all of my readers will have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Have a good time doing whatever it is you are going to do where ever you are going to be...
Peace and Thanks...
