Today marks the 42nd anniversary of the first time that a man set foot on the moon (1, 2) .
As taken from the Purdue University Facebook page:
Today in history: On July 20, 1969, Purdue graduate and astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. That one small step has been inspiring Boilermakers and the rest of the world ever since!
That’s right, a Boilermaker did that.
Last night was D&D 3.5 game night with
I considered hitting the gym after gaming, but as it was late (after 2300) and I had an early – and long – day on the agenda for today, I opted out. Today is rather full with: A doctor’s appointment (for the twins) this morning and a screening of Captain America this evening… oh, yeah, there’s work on both sides of that doctor’s appointment, too.
::: break for appointment :::
Post-appointment update: SaraRules! and both kids are fine. (And her doctor won’t let her go past 38 weeks.)
Groove. Boogie. Sway.
This morning’s music selection has been varied and quite good:
- Rush – Limelight (which, to be honest, wasn’t so random a selection…)
- Shirley Bassey – Goldfinger
- Tony! Toni! Tone’! – Born Not to Know
- Robbie Williams – Rock DJ
- En Vogue – You Don’t Have to Worry
- Snoop Dogg (ft. Pharell) – Drop It Like It’s Hot
- Liz Phair – Supernova
Not a bad way to kick off a Wednesday, at all.
