Happiness & Sadness

So as I am watching a pod of dolphins in the Indian River with the large NASA buildings in the background ... the cell phone rings. Discovery will not be flying tomorrow. Sadness fills the car - all of us are bumbed ... but very happy to have been able to see the shuttle on the launch pad. I have had an amazing chance to be here ... but still have a little sadness. I did get a chance to talk with the mother of the commander today-Mrs. Lyndsey. A very nice lady with a good chuckle at her son's 5th planned trip to space. Anyways ... great stories have been had but still some sadness that I won't get to see the shuttle launch ... but a great experience-thank you NASA.
