space from Cape Canaveral for the first time in way-too-long. With unexpected time off in 2020, I got a lot of badly-needed sleep. Seeing a year of stupidity coming, I dumped FaceBook in March and have never been happier! My backyard looked great this summer! My daughter completed her first semester at UT Law School and my youngest son likewise completed his first semester
