…I met my beautiful wife.

Ours is a world of anniversaries. I love you, baby

This is my friend’s Thursday launch that I missed due to illness; he was only two miles from my house, but I just wasn’t up to it.

And I’m still sick.

Greg’s Rocket/Near Miss With a Plane
Sounds like video by Chris?
I wasn’t there ’cause I’m sick

Anyway, the cool thing about this launch is the NEAR MISS WITH AN AIRPLANE! and the fact that the rocket’s so large, the launch window must be approved with the FAA. Heh heh.

And the awesome fact that it uses G engines, which weren’t even available when we launched rockets 25 and 15 years ago.

This is an experiment to see if the nigh impossible-to-find lyrics of Chris Dane Owens’ “Shine on Me” will increase my page views.

Chris Dane Owens’ “Shine on Me”

I’ve been praying for so long, for my heart to keep me strong. I’ve been living everyday, this way.

Saturday, I launched model rockets again for the first time in years. Much. Fun.

My friend launches his rocket in the video above; I’m behind the camera. If you click again on the video after clicking “play” to go to youtube’s website, you can click on “watch in high quality” to see the rocket drifting back to earth a bit more clearly.

And yes, I’ve cleaned my camera lens; sorry.

I just got an email from my friend Will about his short video - he’s trying to get a lot of views by Monday night to win a contest.

It’s really good; check it out: “What Makes Memphis Home?”

If you look it, please pass it on so he can win the contest!
