Night Sky and a Dream...

I caught a view of the Kennedy Space Center tonight on my way home from Dixie Crossroads (amazing food and service) and had my cab driver pull into an empty parking lot. It was an amazing sight, even from across the bay. The Vehicle Assembly Building is unmistakable, even in the dark. Beyond that was one of the launch pads, which resembled little more than a blur of hundreds of lights, but I still knew what it was. Not many people could probably understand the beauty of it from that distance as I can. The sight alone is AMAZING to me, but throw in the historical values and the hair on my neck and arms stood up. What I would give to take a trip to the heavens on a space shuttle. In a couple of days that dream will die forever. There is no launch about to take place, launch pads 39A and 39B stand silent, nor are there any astronauts to greet or see off tonight. The buildings alone as a back drop to the ocean with the night sky are enough to take my breath away. Maybe it’s the beer... No, it’s more than that. It is a dream fading away before my eyes. Only in my dreams have I imagined such a beautiful trip. Only one woman has made me feel as sick as I do right now. “You know I’m still charging you,” the cab driver said to me through the open window. “Yeah dude. It’s worth every penny,” I said. I could sit here all night and dream. Maybe I will…
God Speed Atlantis.
Dear God, bring them home safe.
Final Space Shuttle Landing!

Hey Gang!
I made it to Cape Canaveral, Florida, safe and sound tonight! The next couple of days will be a great adventure for me. I will be spending Wednesday and Thursday at the Kennedy Space Center touring the complex, viewing the IMAX, checking out the launch facilities, and most important... viewing the final space shuttle landing! I'm pumped up for Thursday morning when I will be taking an hour long flight in a WACO by-plane which was a WWII training aircraft. I paid a little extra to do some acrobatics (parachute required!) and even getting a little stick time myself (aviation lingo for flying the plane!). Tonight I'm off to Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant to try out their "Famous Wild Ocean Shrimp", and maybe a few Budweisers! Wish me luck! I'll check back in with you soon!
God Speed Atlantis!
Cheers!
