Neil Armstrong

Do you want to know something I find odd/strange/ironic?

Just last night, Cawood asked me to take him outside.  We laid down in the driveway and looked up at the moon and stars. 

I asked Cawood if he liked the moon or stars better and he said he liked the stars better, but he liked the moon too. 

I asked him if he knew that people have visited the moon, and he told me no.  For the very first time, I talked with my boy all about visits to the moon, and about astronauts.  He told me he would like to do that someday.

And just by pure coincidence, not even one day after my boy learned about real and true space travel, Neil Armstrong passed today: The Greatest of all astronauts.
