Ravencon

Ravencon was great! My compliments to Bill and Pam and their buddies for a job well done. They have come a long way from the small costume party at their home.

Ravencon

This coming weekend we have Ravencon in Richmond. Ravencon will substitute for our regular monthly meeting, so we will not meet at Books-A-Million this coming Sunday.

Space Shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis on Neighboring Launch Pads

I am reading this article, Space Shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis on Neighboring Launch Pads, on NASA's website.
According to this article, the Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch on 12 May 2009 on a mission, STS-125, to service the Hubble Space Telescope.

Walter "Matt" Jefferies

I went to this website, http://www.mattjefferies.com/
I am reading Beyond The Clouds by Richard L. Jefferies, Walter's younger brother.
I saw one his Walter Jefferies planes, a 1935 WACO YOC, and one of his art works at the Virginia Aviation Museum.

QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

I am reading Richard Feynman's book QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in physics or chemistry.

Al, Deb, Nik, and I got together last Saturday and watched Stargate: Continuum. We had supper together at Golden Corral afterwards.
