Hey AXOAlum,
Gee, thanks for the kind words. Us old folks gotta stick together. Maybe "stick" isn't a good word to use during this heatwave, though.
In terms of your young sister in Tucson, don't worry, I was there just last week on business and it was so hot I came home real cranky. I suppose you get used to it after a while. But maybe not. Anyway, after all of these years, it takes a lot to offend me.
Actually, the only thing that offends me is that Tom Earp gets to be everyone's secret GreekChat crush. I'm almost as old as he is! Well, maybe not that close.
I'm glad that some folks thought my response to Optimist Prime was funny. Of course I'm not welcome in Cleveland or certain parts of the Balkans anymore. And, I'm petrified of dogs with gold teeth.
I don't recall mentioning anyone or any organization by name, so I'll just be puzzled about the offense taken. OK, I'm over it.
For Disco, I think it's neat that your flag made it around the world in such a fun way -- that's something I can easily believe. Congratulations. It was also about time that we got some women and people of color into the space program when it finally happened. The "old boys test pilot club" was damned impressive, but got boring after a while. When I worked in TV News, I met some of the original astronauts. They were great, but a whole lot alike -- at least with their media face on.
As for a job, let me just assure all of you that I'm not on the welfare roles (yet), but do work out of my home when I'm not traveling, and enjoy keeping up with what's going on on GC. I generally take a look whenever I check my e-mail.
AggieAXO, I'm pleased that you have Delt heritage in your family and that you have some of your grandfather's memoribilia. I just hope you don't know how to spell E-Bay. Or NASA. I don't want to know about any Delt badges on the moon.
Actually, one of the places I travel to on business is NASA at Edwards Air Force Base. Did I tell you about the time I snuck a Delt badge into...Oh, never mind, you'd never believe it.
Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have to go out and try to find a life...
after I relearn the Pledge of Alliegance. I was only 7 when they changed it the first time. It may be more difficult this time.
Your urban legend in his own mind...
DeltAlum
