How weird it does feel to have so many connections with NASA ....

I haven't seen a National City yet. I have seen a few Banks of Americas. Might end up going with that. I know I've seen or heard of one in the Ohio area.

Anyways, I found out about an Astronaut who was speaking at the University of Houston Clear Lake Campus. So when I got off, that's where I headed. He ended up giving a nice talk on how the planets are changing and how and what they think about it. All in all, my first experience with an Astronaut up kinda close. His name was Tom Jones. He did 4 shuttle missions and used quite a few of his own pictures from space in his presentation. It was pretty sweet, but by about 8:30pm, I was getting so damn tired and had developed a devastating headache.

I stopped and grabbed Tylenol from Target and with only 2 lines open I picked the line closest to my door, since I just didn't care anymore. But I ended up behind a lady who needed two carts for everything she got. And she just looked at me with my one box of Tylenol and waited for the lady to start cashing her out. Sad thing was, before she could even get all of her stuff in her cart, I had already paid, put my change away, and was walking out. Weird how it all works.

Took the dog for a walk. The internet is working but only on a hard line. We have to get a different router, I guess. Fine by me for now. Eventually we'll get it worked out. Not too worried about it right now.

Oh, and I got told today, I need to get my NASA badge. I hadn't even applied for it since I wasn't sure they wanted me to. Turns out they do! I'll get a temporary one next week that will get me on the grounds. I'll be applying and going through the 10 year back ground check before I leave so that maybe the 3 to 6 months will lead to me coming back and a permenant badge waiting for me!

Now I will read and hopefully sleep and maybe I'll wake up with no headache!
