Yesterday we had jet fighters flying BELOW us doing top-gun type manuvers. It was amazing. Cindy had a rough day yesterday, but she’s doing MUCH better today. Tomorrow we eat breakfast at Paradise Cafe!

We’re on the way to Campo. Launch in 30 minutes.

It’s 5:35 am. We are five minutes off scheduled launch. This is the last time I will see my Macbook Air for about five months. I feel a little sad about it. It’s like I’m leaving a faithful pet behind. I’d like to write more about all my deep feelings and philosophical leanings but, Andy [...]
