Visited Nasa yesterday with my boss and his intern. We had lunch at the Hilton first. I witnessed some of the actual flight crew training for the next mission which will be in March or April. I learned that the tile problem has been fixed (stuff shouldn't be flying off and hitting them anymore) and room has been made in the shuttle to carry four more astronaunts if need be. Then we went on to another location miles away where the 4o ft deep and over 200 ft long pool with a mock space station inside resides. I got to see two astronaunts coming to the surface after having been under water for 6 hours. Previously we saw them on a tv screen at another location. I was disappointed in the atmosphere there since I may end up there soon. The people were rude and grumpy looking, and their work spaces were tiny/grungy cubicles. Then on the way home we got into a traffic jam. I told my boss I changed my mind about wanting to go up there (in a light-hearted way), I like my work space and my commute (1 minute), and he said, "Too late."
I'm looking forward to a long weekend. Tomorrow B and I are going to test drive a used car up the road at Monteque's station, then to the doctor to get B's knee exrayed and his bone density tested, then we will go to Cleveland for the weekend. R and J said they were coming too. I hope I remember to take the blow-up mattresses.
I made chalupas tonight and now I'm burping them.....I'm burning......
Later.....
