Godspeed Endeavor

Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida

Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida

Surf, sand and space shuttle. Having been down three times, I can consider myself exceptionally fortunate; but at least once in your life, treat yourself to a sunset jog down Cocoa Beach before witnessing a space shuttle launch.

No painting, no novel, no symphony, no great piece of cinema or architecture compares to the beauty of the Space Shuttle towering & illuminated. And there is nothing mankind can witness that is as beautiful or as powerful as the launch of human beings into space.

Yo! Capitol Hill Running Club, let’s hear it for us! We cleaned up this year. And with the marathon only a few weeks away, I think we can reach a bipartisan agreement on our collective awesomeness.

For you kids on the facebook, I’ll put a copy on there too.

New Website Launched

Dear All,

I’m back from Siberia and – after long delay – the unintentional interregnum from Congress and policy has given me enough time to finally finish a side project I’ve been promising many of you. That’s right, XML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP have come together in perfect harmony; my new website is finally up.

I’ll be backdating entries to this blog to fill in photos from the last few years. In the meantime, click on the thumbnails for larger versions, peruse and enjoy. It’s certainly been long enough in the coming.
