Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In the last five years so little has changed in my life it is almost scary. The kids have gotten taller.

Actually, Gud, I think that stability has been a huge accomplishment with a lot of work in it.

Watching the astronauts work.

Is seriously nailbiting. I've now been there for 3 live "Let me give it one last try and if that doesn't work, we're going to have to give up on ______" and on the last ditch effort, it works! I like their writers.

Seriously though, it's some amazing crazy shit they are doing up there. And then this thingie came untethered and started to fly into the interior of the telescope! And Mass lunged upward and caught it! Dude! Do not go so fast in space! It scares the animals! And plugging something in is seriously hard if you can't anchor yourself anywhere.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

These are good lists. I'd forgotten some of the details.
