What a treat to wake up to a new chapter this morning! This was beautifully written. My favorite part, because I can picture it perfectly in my mind..

"David floated completely nude, hovering in a relaxed freefall crouch, hands, feet and gills sculling the water slowly.
His head was moving back and forth gently and his eyes were closed. A look of utter peace lay over his gleaming features."

Ok, that really is a 'Oh my Gosh' small world moment, isn't it?

My little sister was born in Madison General in August '69, and we lived there till 1977 when we immigrated back to Canada. My parents were students at the University of Wisconsin when you were born... my mom in Classics (thus the love of Greek myth) and my dad in computer science.

You know, we are almost the same age, I was born in '66, so in double checking dates, I found that the moonwalk landing memory was actually from nursery school, as I was only three at the time. It is an incredibly vivid memory though.

Check out Neil's cool 1/6th standard Earth gravity bouncing in this clip, I have been dreaming of it for my whole life it seems:-)

Oh my gosh!!! That was sooo amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing that with me. I can't even imagine being able to watch and comprehend that as it was happening, and I can certainly understand why the adults who were with you were crying. Pretty hard for them to believe what they were seeing.
My 5th decade of life?! Not sure I like it when you put it that way! lol
I lived in WI until I was 7 or so, then we moved to Ohio for about a year, and then to Mass. where I've pretty much been ever since.

It was kind of the exact opposite of watching the twin towers fall.

Massachusetts... sounds lovely and WARM...

Clearly, your parents were brighter then mine regarding weather.

Right now is is miserable, raining, and 9 degrees C., which my handy converter tells me is 48 degrees F.

Which is FUCKING cold for June, ftw. We had overnight frost 2 nights ago. Fuck.

Hoping the climate is being kinder to you,
Renata

Is it awful that I'm grateful it's so cold there? Otherwise, you might be tempted to be outside gardening or taking a walk or something when CLEARLY you need to be inside writing. ;)

You are a wicked wicked woman to remind me of my duty when I have been goofing off reading lots of Kirk/McCoy fic!

As it happens, since I wrote till 5:45 am last night, and then struggled with stubborn LJ cuts for another half hour, and then woke up at 8:00 to take my 15 yr old to school, I think I will go take a WARM nap under two feather duvets and a flannel quilt so that I will have strength tonight to write the thrilling tale of...

"David And The Mysterious Behemoth From The Abyssal Depths"

Talk to you soon dearest:)
