time of my life
what a blast – no pun intended
meet and greet

funny
down to earth
for space alumni

it was a Tweetup
so see below for
my tweets during

NASA Tweetup 7/21/09

panel presentation rocked
when astroMike pulls
off handle on hubble

hours of screw removing on mission
but lots of laughs tell us about it

no carbonated drinks in space
burbing can really be hazmat related
stuff space alumni can’t do for 2 wks
after return growing with each mission

no shopping and mowing lawn added
by crew of the sts-125

after tweetup ended
warm, down to earth, mingling
handshakes, laughs, hugs, photos
chat, more photos, swag bags

twitter folks from NASA rock
really get the whole So Me thing

interview of brandon who went
with me to DC
then they turn to me
i fumble and stutter and i’m
the one quoted in the blog

last day of visit
old stomping grounds
dupont circle near the zoo
love the little shops
felt like home again except for

humidity – which stinks
wet rag feel and look all visit
go to get off plane and twist knee
bad
really really bad

finally hobble outside
103 degrees
i’m perfectly dry – even
after hobbling to car
