When I was a kid I had to wear glasses, and my optometrist was this guy. He invited me to the launch, but my folks wouldn't let me go.

Because it was a school day.

I never have seen the shuttle launch, and now I never will. So parents, a lesson. History is more important than history class.

Stachtastic! says:: Well said... Well said... (maybe one day we will get to see the USA launch astronauts again...)
