Yeah, it's sad...

My dad calls me at noon, I'm sound asleep, of course. "Did you see it on the news yet?" I hadn't. Dad had just talked to our cousin Judy, who lives on a farm outside of Houston, they heard a big boom in the sky this morning. Poor whumpdotcom is in Texas right now, things must be nuts down there!
I feel really bad because I didn't even know there was a shuttle up this week. I pay so little attention to the news these days, and the space shuttle doesn't get much airtime anymore. I'm not the most informed citizen you'll find on the street. I watch what I can stand, and turn away when it gets boring (politics), or scary (war, etc..), that's just the way it is for me.
