Bill's Musings

A number of years ago, while visiting Florida, my kids and I went to visit NASA with my parents. We did the whole visit, saw the Shuttle, saw wonders that I’d never expected to see, and, of course, loaded up on souvenirs.

Some of the souvenirs were pretty cool. Mackie got a really nice meteor. This object was even identified as to where it came from, how it came to be on earth, and what it was made of. I find it pretty amazing that someone can take what to me was a weird looking rock and come up with a history of it. Alex got a model of the shuttle, which he still has. And, along with some pretty nice pictures, I got a tee-shirt.

This is where the story really begins.

I was quite a bit heftier back then. This tee-shirt was really nice, but didn’t fit me…
