It finally launched! Adriana and I spent the better part of a week trying to see this thing lift off (weather problems, followed by a valve problem), but it was completely worth it. This was a night launch, and while it was much ‘shorter’ than a day launch, it was soooo much prettier. A shuttle launch still is, by far, the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

I just had all my wisdom teeth removed. Before being injected with the novocaine, I attempted to see how low I could get my pulse. I guess I did an ok job, hovering around the mid 60s, especially since I was freaking out a little. The whole procedure took 45 mins, with three straight pulls and one impacted (soft flesh, so it hadn’t come right through yet).

My last birthday in the 20s. ...

I just got an e-mail from an online publication re the use of one of my pictures in their article! I’m always stoked about something like this. The picture is one I took of a kid in Nicaragua in the Granada islands area. He was one of the sons of the tour operator. Here is a link to the article, it’s in Spanish, but it talks about how a study conducted by Stanford university showed that post traumatic stress during childhood makes people more vulnerable to stress, anxiety or depression later in their lives. ...
I took the opportunity to practice some firework photo shots. Fireworks at Tamarac: Fireworks at Hallandale Beach: The set is here.
