The team I'm working on even had a feature article in the Washington Post today, here. You know, I mentioned I was taking radar training from these folks last week, and this was the most awesome quote from one of our trainers:

Luckily for the shuttle investigation, several types of computer software have been developed to follow radar tracks, including one devised recently by an FAA technician and a crash investigator in the FAA's New England region.



One FAA technician said he was amazed at how rapidly NASA scientists learned to use the software. "I guess they are rocket scientists," he said.

What an incredible weekend. The weather is perfect. Absolutely perfect. And plenty of relaxation time.

Since Rodeo season is upon us (apparently I am the only one who thinks this is a really cool thing, in a weird, redneck, Texas sort of way), Sarah, Jason and I did the Rodeo Run. My legs hurt. I need to start running more often than a couple times a week again. It was a perfect day, and we ran the beginning of the Rodeo parade route. There were so many people in cowboy hats riding horses. I still have a little girl's fascination with horses, obviously. I need to start taking riding lessons.

After the run, I came home and pulled the weeds from my yard that were the size of small bushes before I get a letter form the homeowners association. And then, at Sarah's suggestion, we got pedicures. I love pedicures. They are such a wonderful thing.

I had a nice dinner (thanks to SuperTarget) and then went to see How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. Funny. Really Funny at times. All I have to say is "Queen Sophia".

Anyway, today is not going to be as relaxing, as I spending the day doing a massive homework assignment that I don't understand. I tried to cajole Jose (the only other MechE who attends the class regularly enough for me to know his name and converse with regularly) into getting together with me so we could work on the homework (if nothing else, so I could make sure I ended up with correct answers). He wasn't interested at all. The other CAAM students had their homework completed on Friday. So I'm on my own. Making me feel even more stupid. Ok, anyway, back to homework.
