Fantasstic job ... well done, NASA!

And in a touch of class, Ingenuity is carrying a piece of the original Wright Bros flyer; hence your current icon is correct, DB. (For those who may see this later, DB current icon is a picture of Ingenuity with the caption, "The Wright Brothers on Mars.")

Just changed it. Sorry if people missed it. You can find it on the NASA website although right now I don't have the exact URL.

Easily solved!

Today's my wife's last day of working at the school for the summer. Be nice to have the time off and more time for us to be together. She loves the job and I enjoy helping her, but it'll be nice no to be pressed into getting up so early.

acations are nice, but so is keeping busy.

Very true. There've been days when there wasn't really anything on the table and they can get boring and tiring.

Pineapples are weird: the mother plant only fruits once, but produces offshoots; after fruiting, it slowly dies, presumably providing fertilizer to the new shoots. And pineapple, the fruit, produces digestive enzymes that can benefit humans.

I’ve moved yet again but have a two year plan to better myself.

Two year plan

*get my Associates Degree in Business Administration
*loose enough weight to feel good in my skin and feel sexy
*save a lot of money to have a good nest egg
*Clear my credit up.

Any advice on any of the subjects is appreciated.

The only advice I have is: do you. If this is what you want to do, get it done, don't sweat the small stuff.

(Hint: it's ALL small stuff)

I'll second that ^^^^ advice.

And ... good luck ... hope all your goals are met.

True to form, the Washington Capitals have choked in the first round of the playoffs, losing 3 games to 1 to the Boston Bruins.

My wife's brother's child is in ICU following surgery with a perforated bowel. Surgery was successful but his condition is considered very serious and potentially life threatening. Prayers or good wishes would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, now that is actually sucktastic. Ug. Hope things turn out for the better.
