I watched the Columbia memorial service today instead of working on my paper. This was an ungood idea, and Liz rightly pointed out to me that I need to avoid these kinds of things. But the service was beautifully done. Thirty-three counties in this state have debris. I find it amazing and horrifying all at the same time. And I can't even begin to fathom at horrible it must have been, how terrifying it must have been for those astronauts. I can't get that out of my head.

And so now, I'm going to listen to Liz. Because I have a paper due tomorrow.
