In the Shadow of the Moon
Oh, to be thirteen again and watching this for the first time. The feeling of possibilities...

Suspend reality and basic common sense as I invite you to Eastern StandardTime Hospital...
Many of you have shown interest in my job as a Mental Health Associate. This is probably due to the serious life-saving work that my fellow co-workers and I accomplish. Hey, coffee doesn't drink itself! However, many of you have only heard half of the story. The truth is, there is a very serious contest conducted every month at ESH. The winner of said contest gets their very own picture taken which is placed in the monthly newsletter along with their answers to 16 hard hitting questions.
I've never been let in on the secret details of how such employees are chosen. I have often questioned the validity of this award due to the fact that I have never been nominated. Ludicrous, I know. I imagine that there must be some sort of electoral college establishment involved in the selection process. This would explain how I could have possibly lost 47 months in a row. Like Al Gore, I'm winnin…

ReplyDelete:-D
Gives me chills!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it such a time to be alive?! Our local newspaper asked for people to submit their memories of that day, and I did (but two hours later than the deadline - so it probably won't be published).
ReplyDeleteThose idiots who say it never happened simply don't deserve to be made of cosmic dust...
I was 10, and I remember staying up and lying on the living room floor in the dark, watching the moon landing on tv with my whole family. Remember how everyone wondered what might happen to the astronauts when they were actually out in the moon's atmosphere? If their suits didn't protect them? I think we all held our breath at once.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know. I was nine years old and I think it's one of the reasons I'm fascinated with space science and all things NASA. One day I'd like to go to a launch in Florida.
ReplyDeletePossibilities... for sure... it was a confusing time to be a kid though... Vietnam was in full swing, protests, music going wild... and men on the moon. Will look forward to seeing this, thanks for the preview...
ReplyDeleteI was 13 then too, but I was bored by it all :-), now of course I think it is awesome, but then I was interested in other things.
