I rip your hottest MC like eenie mynie moeThe failed Challenger sace shuttle mission happened 20 years ago. And this artice really tugs at the heart. To think, the students who were seniors that year are now the same age as their former teacher. This is one of the take-a-chill-pill moments where you take a step back, look up, and say, "good looking out, yo." I think back to that time and can recall being in the first grade at Burns. I can remember vaguely the clasroom dynamics and faintly where we were in the building. Mostother thinsg are still a blur. I do remember Ron McNair held a special place for me at the time as a motivating factor. I didn't necessarily want to be an astronaut, but yet sometign intriued me about him. Plus, he was from SC, so to know he came up from where I was made it more meaningful. Oh well. Rest in peace to the whole crew. Shout out to those whose passions persevered though strife.

So I'm determined, like AJ after Free
Aparently the little person's sponge-like qualities are becoming evident. Caught wind that he insisted on watching the UMass vs LaSalle game on Sunday. And was cheering evertime a basket was scored. Funny. And yes, it is my fault because I'll be daned if we werent goin fuqing fool at last Saturday's game. Let's see how involved he gets with Monday's game. Disclaimer: I've been known to get into games a bit much during my tenure in this city. The non calm POPS comes out. Not pretty. Kinda like when some fire joints come through the speakers (like this). Elbows being thrown should be the least of your worries.

I saw that same article and remember exactly where I was when I saw the Challenger blow: in the waiting room at the Hockomock YMCA in North Attleboro waiting for swim team practice. I remember the look of that waiting room (in which I've not stepped foot in about 16 years) because of that very moment.
My sister was an administrator at the "McNair Program" at Salem State about five years ago, named for Ron McNair. The program helped first generation college students apply to and prepare for graduate school. Helping them shoot for the stars in a different way.
...oh and I was returning from Christmas break freshman year in Undergrad when the Challenger blew up...my Mom was like, "the first time they let some of us up there, it blows up..."
