How COOL is that!!!


It was SO COOL tonight - John and I went outside just before 11, and saw the International Space Station sail across the sky, closely followed by the Shuttle. Our weather guy had told us the times. It was a great sight.

I went for my regular visit to the rheumatologist this morning. The joints weren't too bad today, so I gave them a pain level of "2". They did some regular blood work, and set me up for my next visit and bone density scan in December. I had the BDS before I started radiation in March 2005, so it's time to do that again.

We watched "What's Cooking?" tonight. It's a neat movie. From the Netflix sleeve blurb: "...an intriguing portrait of family tensions as four ethnic clans - Latino, black, Jewish, and Asian - get ready for Thanksgiving dinner." Great case, and interesting stories. Worth a look.

Then we watched some of the AFI Top 100 movies. Of course, we missed the top 2 because we went out to watch the ISS and shuttle. We couldn't believe they didn't pick "To Kill a Mockingbird" as one of the top 10. Oh, well....

Quote of the day: It might be a good idea if the various countries of the world would occasionally swap history books, just to see what other people are doing with the same set of facts. -Bill Vaughan, journalist (1915-1977)

Today's picture is not the space station, but jet contrails at sundown over the Valley of the Gods, Utah.
