A late night tonight (yawn) poor Meg is down for the count with the flu, and I'm sad about it; not only is she feeling horrible but tomorrow night is Oak Christian's father-daughter dance and we were both looking forward to going.

Apropos: Doc Searles republishes a 25-year-old Reflection on the Challenger Tragedy. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that news, don't you?
