Bastille Day

Today is Bastille Day, which commemorates some day when French people did something French to some other French people. It was a lot cooler when Battlestar Galactica did it.

Over the weekend, Jennifer and I made our relationship official by joining our phone plans together on one family plan. On Saturday, we were pretty sure everything was set. Developments today have appeared to the contrary. It all seemed so simple on Saturday, which was probably the first indication that we've got a problem. We did get newer free phones, which I guess was good. They're not iPhones, but I'm anything but an early adopter. I think it will play mp3s. Spiffy. Oh, and mine's orange. Subtle - that's me.

It seems like NASA can't launch Endeavour even if we wanted to. First a leaky tank, now weather. We're hoping for Attempt Number 5 will work on Wednesday. Fingers crossed. Also,
NASA Watch seems to think that the Ares program is DOA. Personally, I hate to see so much work for naught, but as long as we're putting people in space, I'm happy.

I meant to ask - did you get a new camera for Bastille Day?
