We're going to Colorado!

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, naaaah!  We're going to see mountains, and lakes, and hike until we're exhausted.  :)  Can you tell I'm excited?  So, don't be expecting any blog entries until next Wednesday, because there is no internet access in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Yesterday, I had a very stressful sim.  Periodically, I guess, one needs reminding that what I do is in fact work.  I think everything ended fairly well, but I am always amazed that it seems to be harder in some ways to pretend to do spaceflight than to actually do it.  Starting a sim is a really complicated (and potentially volitile) process.  And it has nothing to do with anything that will happen on a real mission.  Yet in some sims, it's the hardest thing I do the whole time.  Go figure.
