Experiments in Life

For those of you reading this, you may want to sit down, you’re in for a bumpy ride…destination…my mind…

I had the strangest dream this morning. Apparently I have been watching and reading way too much stuff on the shuttle mission. I dreamed that Jon and I were on a type of shuttle going into space. What was really weird is that we were not a part of the main crew. We were extras I guess you could say. We didn’t even get to ride on the big shuttle. Instead, we were taken to a secret launch point and ushered into what looked nothing like a shuttle. It was almost an elongated escape pod that you see in the movies. As the tech- guys were explaining to us, you really didn’t need such a big shuttle. You didn’t even really need the boosters that are on the real shuttle. We just headed down a runway at really high speeds. Apparently, the big shuttle was just a show put on for the media and civilians. We were about to question all this when President Reagan showed up (as if things weren’t weird enough already ) Anyway, the dream continued…we eventually got strapped in and all and got ready for take-off. Of course, I was nervous because I don’t even fly in airplanes well. It was then that I remembered we didn’t bring my medication with me (because they’d really let someone on regular medication up into space). I also realized we forgot the digital camera. I was so upset that I went and found Jon, who was sitting in the back. I told him what we forgot and he just looked at me like I’d grown another head (BTW, it’s not nice to look at your wife that way Jon ). About that time we were to take off and some lady came and made me get back into my seat…a stewardess if you will. And that my friends, is as far as I got. We did make it into space safely, but then the alarm clock went off and I was no longer in space, I was kind of sad actually.

And there you have it.

A penny for your thoughts…
