I'm back after a week and a half of not having to get up in the morning and staying up late at night!  Vacation, what a wonderful concept.  Even though I did not go anywhere or do anything, just luxuriating in the freedom to do nothing was awesome.

I did get to watch the Space shuttle launch, docking, and first space walk to attach the new P-5 truss to the P-4 truss.  Heady stuff!   For more information, and schedules, go to the NASA website and look at the humans in space tab. I also got the watch the entire Firefly block on Sci-Fi yesterday.

Spent most of the time taking care of my wife, watching movies, and just de-compressing my mind.

Its great to be back.
