On December 7th,1972, Apollo 17 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Being the sixth lunar landing mission, it would be 53+ years before a return mission was sent there. Artemis II lifted off early yesterday evening without incident, and its passengers are well on their multi-day circling of Earth's unusual, unitary natural satellite. It was still broad daylight at launch time, and while sitting in our front yard facing east we saw absolutely no sign of the spaceship or its trail for several minutes following the launch. Obama said we didn't need to go to the moon because "we've already been there', which I thought was wastefully dismissive if not arrogant. This morning I finally arose at six, running in place for four minutes and brewing a K-cup of coffee. A man is coming over to our house to remove the old plastic shed and rendet the back yard a simpler place without such an encumbrance. I read some pages in Joshua Khan's Shadow Magic, intending to go further into it today. For me, it has too many convoluted plot twists: who's the real culprit, and how does its ending slide into the next book?And I plan to watch some MLB regular reason baseball on that subscription channel, come afternoon or early evening. And a modest attempt at some c-v home floor exercise should do the trick as well. And how about a little more sleep, no? Let's see, I'll do four more minutes running in place and then I'll give it a nice break...
