Shakespeare Was Onto Something …

 

Yes, a rose by any other name

Is still a rose, but it’s my aim

To describe other things about a rose

With this simple-minded prose

 

A rose

By any other name

Is still just a rose

Unless you’re allergic

 

A nose

By any other name

Is still just a nose

Unless it’s nosy

 

Clothes

By any other name

Are still just clothes

Unless they’re one-size fits all for everyone but you

 

Knows

By any other name

Is still just knows

Unless it’s something she knows but you don’t

 

Flows

By any other name

Is still just flows

Unles you’ve just finished your fourth beer only to find the bathroom is out of order

 

A dose

By any other name

Is still just a dose

Unless it’s an epidural

Failure is not an option – but delays are

The launch didn’t happen so no cool pictures of that – but here are some of wonderful Savannah, Georgia.

Quotes of the Day!

November 5, 2010

“Listen, everybody … the launch is canceled, but fries now only cost 4 dollars and ninety-five cents … for the single ladies.”

NASA Chief Bolden

(I HIGHLY recommend you click on that picture. I bought some post cards from the Kennedy Space Center gift shop but what I really wanted – besides the 100 dollar space-suit onesy – was THIS picture.)

Kid: “I still want to be a monster truck driver!”

Kid’s Dad: “Aim higher, buddy.”

My folks and I toured Kennedy Space Center and got lunch there. We sat next to a couple and their 4th grade son. My mom was talking about me as a little kid and how I wanted to be an entomologist. I said I just liked catching bugs. Then the kids mom said her son wanted to be a monster truck driver. The above conversation followed. I found them pretty awesome and funny.

 

In other news I did NOT get to see the shuttle launch. This is a pretty big bummer. My parents are still there so fingers crossed that (by the time this gets posted) the launch has not been delayed again.
