Its going to be a good week. Tonight, I'm going to see Rent (the musical). Then, Thursday, I leave for a long weekend of skiing in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Ah. Skiing. The weather forecasts look beautiful - warm and sunny, but with the potential for fresh snow overnight. The weather is perfect here in Houston, too. Ah, the good life.

Today, I am reading about emergency crew escape from the orbiter. I'm having a hard time concentrating. But, I leave for class in a couple of hours, so I only have to focus a bit longer.

There's a space shuttle cookie jar on my desk in LSO-land. Every day, the supply of cookies in its payload bay is magically replenished by a mystery FDO. Its making me a very popular person to visit as people come to sample the cookie-of-the-day.

Yesterday, I got a random e-mail from a guy named Chris who is from the University of Calgary and will be doing an internship with Alstom in Switzerland. It made me nostalgic about my European adventures with the crazy Canadians. It made me nostalgic about Switzerland in general. Ah, that was also the good life.
