Happy Birthday Dad! (Yes, Mom on Monday, Dad today. Together they are, as Dad pointed out, 108 years old.)
Last night I’d planned to stay at home, but got talked into playing bingo with Jason and Debbie. None of us won, as usual, but Debbie won $202 from those stupid pull tabs!! I was incredulous. She gave me $1 for being the one who actually pulled the tabs on the $200 winning card.
George and I went and picked up Chinese food for everyone for lunch today. Ah, it was an excellent idea, as I hadn’t packed my lunch anyway. Mmm. Now I am happily full of orange chicken.
Yesterday I fell under the spell of JSC Today’s advertising, and went to the Exchange store to buy Mars legos. Dude. They are awesome. I bought an awesome set that came with a model of the orbiter, the rover, and the Delta rocket and launch tower. I wanted the big version of the rover, but it’s $80. Maybe someday… In any case, they are all so cool! The rover even has a pancam ton top, a little robot arm in front, and independent suspension on the front wheels! So now the Mars set joins the International Space Station model I got a few months ago.
I love legos. When this NASA thing stops working, I’m moving to Denmark (or wherever) and working for Lego.
