41, all this in honor of our 41st wedding anniversary. For those wondering, we first met in September 1974. Here’s Dave Matthews singing his song, #41. Happy Anniversary to my long-time love.
I wish I knew this when I was 41……
Sounds like a song, “When I was 41, it was a very good year…….
Happy Easter!

Meanwhile I look forward to the combination of the U.S.’s Orion and Space X Programs being far better and safer than the Space Shuttle, with the added bonus that we won’t have to pay the Russians anymore to ride with our knees crammed up against our foreheads in their Soyuz capsules to the International Space Station.
