Welcome! I had that record too, but had completely forgotten about it til just now! Thanks for the reminder.:) PhantomCruiser: By the time Apollo 17 rolled around, my mother had correctly diagnosed the mysterious ailment I seemed to come down with every time there was a moon landing as the...

Hell, at 58 I feel just like I did at 38...well, except for the joint stiffness...and the muscle fatigue...the deteriorating eyesight...But, other than that...oh yeah, the knee. Ah, never mind.

I'm glad you're writing more of this. It's a good story with good characters and you have a good style. Anxiously awaiting more.:cheers:

Happy Birthday!
