Hey we saw something really cool Saturday night! SirKit had been reading about the govt. planning to shoot down the satellite that's fixing to fall to earth, and he found out that the International Space Station was going over us this evening. We went out around 6:30, and there it was! It was crossing from the Northwest to the Southeast, and we watched it for almost 5 minutes! It's supposed to come over the US again on Feb. 18th You can go to the Heavens Above website to find out if you can see if from where you are.

And speaking of that dying satellite, I think if you go to the Heavens Above homepage, it will give some info on that, too! I think they're supposed to shoot at it on Feb. 23rd. I'll have to tell Clare, since that's her birthday.

Cool. I can’t get that page set to show it from Richmond, but according to that track it’s goin’ right over my house tomorrow. I’m still debating whether or not to let Luke stay up and watch the lunar eclipse on Wednesday.

In other news, Luke and I are up and ready for church.

Mrs. came home last night from her conference exhausted and with a bad cold. She had a glass of wine and took a Drixoral and a sleeping pill.

I told her if she wasn’t awake by Tuesday I’d call the paramedics.
