Jay Barbree's Book "Live From Cape Canaveral"

Several months ago, at one of our regular monthly meetings, Al, Mike, and I all bought a copy of Jay Barbree's book Live from Cape Canaveral -- it was in the clearance area and only $1, so we figured we didn't have much to lose. I recently finished reading the book and was very pleasantly surprised with how good it was. As a matter of fact, I could go so far as to call it great -- one of the best dollars I've spent!


The last 10 episodes of Stargate: Universe starts tonight.
