No, I Haven't Forgotten

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Two quick notes for today. First, I want to note that I haven’t forgotten about posting here. Things have been a bit busy for the amount of time it takes to put in a decent multimedia post, which is where most of my backlog is. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to post some stuff. It’s interesting — not a whole lot has happened since the 4th of July, but this past weekend has several items of note (pool, Build-A-Bear, Uncle Tim in town, playing in a fountain, I went to a concert last night) that I need to catch everyone up on. Stay tuned.

Obviously, the other thing (which I think everyone is hearing about in the news) was about the 40th anniversary of the first Moon landing. And yes, I actually did witness it as it happened. So what if I was only 2 months old? I was awake and “watching” the TV. So that counts, I think.

At least NASA is getting in the spirit by offering a piece of a giant Moon Pie to visitors today. That would be of the dessert variety, measuring 40 inches in diameter, 55 total pounds with 6 pounds of chocolate and 14 pounds of marshmallow.

Happy 4th of July

Here’s to wishing everyone a happy 4th of July). Stay safe, but have some fun. And here’s a quick musical interlude on how they decided who should write the Declaration of Independence. I’m pretty sure this is historically accurate, although I would have expected Jefferson to be more of a baritone.

NOTE: There are a couple of PG-13 curse words in the song, if you have a young one in the room with you.
