It's a historic day, the 40th anniversary of the first foot on the moon. One small step and all that. I don't remember clearly but i do remember Mom and Dad getting us up out of bed to watch on tv. I don't remember what i thought or felt but i'm glad i can say that i did see it as it happened. It would have been pretty cool to have a moon base built but other things have got in the way over the years. Still a space program, with shuttles and a space station so that's something. They've sent a probe to Mars too. I guess it won't be in my lifetime that people from our planet live on another one but maybe someday.

The Tall Ships parade of sail is today. My mate Tracey and i are going to stake out a spot on the waterfront later for the noon start. It's sunny!!!!! It actually was yesterday and i could have gone down to the waterfront yet again last evening with my nephew and mom but i wanted to rest my feet for today. Sunscreen ... check. Lunch packed... check. Frozen juice in the pack so it gets a chance to thaw a bit....check. All batteries recharged... check.
Gotta find a hat. Got a blouse to cover my shoulders if it gets too hot and burny.

Wow! I remember it clear as black and white! I was 5, and it had huge impact on me. I spent my 16th birthday at Kennedy space centre, getting a glimpse of the then untested space shuttle. Wow, 40 years. You just sent me back to my livingroom sitting too close to the TV on the floor watching those steps. I was alone if I remember correctly, no one was in the room with me.

What were you doing up so late! lol
