the heavens delight

I was just outside, letting my dad's dogs run around and fight each other during night three of my week-long siege as the rest of te family sweats it out in Cancun. Standing out there in the murky dusk I noticed a light in the sky, moving slightly faster than a jet plane and without the usual low rumble and contrail. I recognized that it was the International Space Station (and verified it with this handy-dandy page). I was immediately thrown back to the wonderment of my youth when I often stared up at the night sky and pondered the mysteriesof youth that I have yet to really figure out. It was wonderful.
