NASA’s oldest astronaut felt the decades melt away in space before returning on his 70th birthday.
@AssociatedPress reports: "Don Pettit marked his 70th birthday on April 20 by plunging through the atmosphere in a Russian Soyuz capsule to wrap up a seven-month mission at the International Space Station."

Good day!
Yesterday, I went exploring. Literally. At each juncture, I took the trail least traveled. What an amazing experience!
About 50F/10C, slight breeze, sunny. I topped a ridge & witnessed a snowstorm on Lolo Peak.
Spring has sprung & it was a great day!
Be everwell.
I have reached the age where there's always a half-remembered tune running through my head and I almost never track it down or figure out what it is.
The trick is to stop caring and enjoy the half-remembered tune while you remember any of it at all.

Good day!
I went on a poetry binge yesterday. Who knows where that comes from…
The read-thru of Book3 is flying along. I’m about 75% of the way through one of two threads. This thread is about 52% of the book.
I may hike today. The weather is dicey, but I should soon know.
Be everwell.
#Today 27
Good day!
FINISHED! The targeted edit on Book3 is done. A fast read-thru for continuity, then on to Book2 & its publication.
I’ll also, at last, hike, but also clean this poor apartment & prep my journal for May…
May is my mental health scourge, & always a good time to be busy.
Be everwell.
'mini Me and Me' - die Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen #Altern, der Frage nach der #Erwachsen werden und diesem ominösen 'in Würde Altern' bin ich mir selbst begegnet. Auf Kinderbildern tauchen häufig ich und mein #Vater auf. auf der Basis dieser Fotos habe ich den Kopf des alten Menschen gegen meinen Kopf ausgetauscht. Der Zwerg mit Becher ist immer noch in dem alten Menschen - und er tut mir gut. Dies und mehr gibt es aktuell im #Kunstbonbon zu sehen #fotomontage #aging #bw #ilford #fp4
#Today 26
Good day!
ONE chapter remains in Book3 to edit, one with high emotions.
I’ll then take a couple of days to read through the two threads looking for major continuity issues.
My priority, though, will be a hike. I’ve abused my body to finish this month. It’s time to recharge on the trail.
Be everwell.

Good day!
In my endless quest to find Riparia’s rock along the river, this is the closest I’ve come (a Kovenlore Chronicles reference).
Speaking of which…
Only TWO chapters remain to edit in Book3. Today’s, unfortunately, has some issues. I’m weary, but almost done.
First, I’ll walk…
Be everwell.

Good day!
THREE chapters remain to edit in Book3.
I had a flashback yesterday, a moment of irrational fear when I questioned if my next breath would be there.
It was.
That wasn’t always the case. Once you’ve taken a breath & there was no air, you never forget.
I’m grateful for each one.
Be everwell.

“Almost everyday we’d go to the park
And play the same old tape time and again
It seemed like so perfect at the time
As we sat there watching the boys
skateboard by…”
