All Righty-then

I am going to try to join the technical age. I have just added a 'widget' to my blog site.. .this, in honor of my science-oriented offspring. altho it is not the center of my life, I do enjoy keeping up with science news. The topic that first led me to discovering this Discovery widget was the story on the diary of the Jewish astronaut Ramon who died in the Challenger explosion in January 2003.

as the story mentions, the display of the diary pages in the Israeli Museum coincide with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel. [about the time I was born] .but it is also the time of year for the Jewish high holidays. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur-- both which also happen at the time of year for me that I often find myself in deeply reflective mood-states.. . I enjoy taking vacations in the Fall, when it is cool and spend time doing nothing but sitting and reflecting. .that, to me, is what vacations should be all about. This year, I will begin a trek to CO, WY, and a first-time visit to Montana & Idaho. . .then back through UT, CO & NM before returning home.

By then, I should be tired, but refreshed and ready to hit the ground running for the busy season at the AGI office. LM

hopefully I can find more widgets that would interest my friends and blog-watchers.
