If you were hoping for a Nebula wrap-up: it was Massive Fun w/ Great People.

There.

Okay, more specifically:

And now I am wearing my Deadline Hat (literally: a military cammo cap from NASA stating "failure is not an option") and have my coffee, and I am Back To Work.

I like kids but there are -way- too many on this flight. All Disney-hyped.

If there's one really nice thing about having a peanut allergy in the house, it's the not being able to fly down to Orlando part when we took the kids on the WDW trip. I don't think I could have stood the craziness.

Launch of Atlantis awesome. No other words for it.

You accomplished one of my dreams, right there.

Had guilt-dream about not accomplishing enough. Time to get back to work.

I've read your blog for almost a year now, and I can safely say you do more than some entire departments I know at work.

I LIVE here and it is soooooo worth it.

seriously, try and make it happen. :)

I'm told I have some *cough* issues about this. Funny, I don't feel like a workaholic...

Glad to hear you weren't eaten by alligators. Bet they missed a treat, though.

I'm a smidge much for an alligator to snatch up, staying on land. Deanna's youngest, being gator-treat-sized, was carefully monitored...
