Funny Astronauts
Hubby and I had the opportunity to hear a presentation by two Space Shuttle astronauts, Mike Massimino and Garrett Reisman.

It’s been an interesting week. I have a Twitter account because every writers’ meetings I’ve been to, someone says I should have one. I’m beginning to question that.
