Sometime in June, my dear friend A. asked if Craig and I would like an invitation to a shuttle launch.

This photo was taken at 4:08 pm (Oct 2, 2008) with my iPhone and I have no idea how it turned out like this. I think it looks pretty darn cool. And I did decide to keep the phone.

As I mentioned, we just got back on Tuesday from our annual "disappearance" (see Lisa Lutz's Curse of the Spellmans) to the Carolina beaches. Basically lazed around and read for two and a half weeks, punctuated only by trips to the local seafood shack for just-off-the-boat flounder, shrimp,...
