In life you gotta connect the dots by taking a number of periodic adventures...could be accidental or could be planned...either way you add these as places you have touched ground.

Alabama (in 1994 and 2002) - Huntsville Space and Rocket Center (went to that space camp as a kid and loved it. They have virtually everything to simulate the feeling of embarking on a space mission...especially the twist museum and dormitory design like a space station...great IMAX theater as well!!!...

The ideal winter wonderland is a 6-inch mound of pure fine-gained powder snow that keeps its fairy dust-like texture by not getting the chance to melt and then refreeze.

Among the differences in people I see every day, even more universal than all physical characteristics (skin color color, age, hair, style of clothes, etc), is this continuum of people who are overly talkative vs people who don't say much vocally (not to say they don't speak in a more unique form...non-verbally, in writing, an art form...or they process info longer and way way way more deeply by a gift of nature in how they were made in this world).
