On the following page are some of my recollections with regards to my involvement in the Columbia disaster story. There is much that I have decided not to post and that is the reason for the gaps. I have also made a decision not to write about all my actions in the months after the accident that were prompted by my serendipitous "ride" with Columbia. Plenty of story that I'm tempted to describe and detail, but writing doesn't come that easy to me (at least this kind of writing) and I think it better to share my story, my feelings and my attitudes via the sight and sound channel that I love so much. Hopefully in the not too distant future I can share with others the anecdotes and curious encounters.

...Until then, here are some of my recollections of the events that led me to this particular place and heading.
