Hello. I left my apartment twice this weekend: once to do laundry and once to go to the A & P. But I don’t want to talk about my weekend today.

Saturday I woke up to the horrible news about Columbia. I was speechless. I just sat in front of the TV all day. I feel bad for the crew and their families. I’m ashamed to admit that I had absolutely no idea there was a crew orbiting earth. I’m usually up on current events but this one fell under my radar. Launching people into space has become part of the routine, almost commonplace. Sadly, it took this accident for me to realize how wrong I’ve been. I’m not going to take these things for granted again.

I’m posting this very short diary Sunday afternoon. I’ll be back on Tuesday.
