Not if it's wearing the space suit that apparently "grounds" you to the floor of the ship. :roll: :roll:
I'd like to check it out...I think all things space-related are flippin' fascinating. When and on what network does it air?
Same here. Sundays at 10 on ABC if I'm not mistaken. I'm catching up on hulu.com

Ok, cross that one off my list. Can't beat that. ;)
I also taught undergrad chemistry for several years - gen chem 2 once, organic 1 and 2 more times than I can count, and non-majors chem 2 or 3 times. Some advanced stuff, too.

Sweet! And that class is online. Ugh. My schedule didn't work out quite the way I wanted it. Luckily I have you guys, and my dad is pretty good at science as well.

Missouri Botanical Gardens. I have an album on FB from earlier this summer. Apparently the water lilies are blooming now and are quite spectacular. Unfortunately it's supposed to rain all week. I <3 the MoBot.

Thanks! I really want to hit the MoBot and/or the zoo for some more pictures. Unfortunately both close at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and the last couple of times I've tried to go (including today) it has rained buckets. I'm really anxious to try some of the stuff I learned in my photography class over the weekend.
Get used to MoBot now, but I'm afraid you'll need to go over again, with a Nikon Macro lens. :-bd
Can't decide if I want to get that or a zoom first. I'm seeing what I can do with my current lens before getting others. Creve Coeur Camera rents lenses, so I may take advantage of that before buying. That would give me a chance to try things out and see what I like best.

This is post #6328 in LTE 2.0. The original has 12,773. I suppose we'll get to half of that over here within the next ~24 hours. When I wondered rhetorically 10-14 days ago (not sure exactly when it was), we were just short of 1/3 of the original LTE. Some serious catching up, guys. :ymapplause:

That could help decide what game I go to this year!
Exactly what I was thinking... :) :ymdevil:

Can't back out on me now - I expect you to have a Mike Nifong pinata when AD and I come to the game. ;)

Again, can't beat that. I'm limited to having taught intro physics labs at Duke during my senior year.

If it makes you feel any better, you'd beat the heck out of me in math and physics. :-bd ^:)^

It's 11PM on a Monday night, and there are 13 people online. And the majority of them have been PWing all day. Somehow y'all take time out to work jobs. Somehow I take time out to work a job.
