45 years ago today

I was six. I managed to stay up for 23 hours -- a record for me at the time.

I was -9 months (conceived on the night of the landing).

Then born on the day Apollo 13 had their explosion.

Thus I feel pretty connected to the US Space program.

It was just before my fourth birthday and I stayed up and watched the landing - basically almost didnt sleep the entire time - and told my mother I would build those one day - and ended up a Space Shuttle Engineer with Rockwell

and it definitely happened - sorry conspiracy theorists but it happened

I am adding this today because tomorrow I will be with a lady friend for the day.

Home. Safe. Mission accomplished. Man had walked on another world.

I was right across the bay in Novato.

In a way, there was a disappointment -- we were the first ones in the neighborhood to have a color TV, and all the moon footage was black and white.

I am posting this tonight even though the actual anniversary is not until tomorrow.

The Woodstock Music Festival began on Max Yasgur's farm outside of Bethel, NY. Eventually there were between 400 to 500 thousand people living in the mud, grooving to some of the best music, smoking a LOT of dope.
