John Glenn

Okay. I cheated. I taped the flight of John Glenn instead of staying awake to watch it live. My need for sleep overtook my need to see history happen. One in the afternoon translates into one in the morning for me. I did however watch it as soon as I woke up. So I may not have seen history while it was happening, but it was still as moving on tape.

I wouldn't mind seeing the world from space. Who knows where the space program will be thirty years from now. Maybe I might have a chance.

Brenda called when it was on to see if I was watching. I was asleep and as a habit I turn off the ringer on my phone when I am sleeping. I don't need to have a telemarketer waking me up for some sales pitch. It has happened in the past and it was not something that I enjoyed.

I would have liked to talk with Brenda. Its been a week since we last spoke to one another.

Lately I haven't been able to get into any new books. All that I have been reading is magazines and I want to change that trend. At the moment, I am starting back in with short stories.
