We have scheduled a trip to Kansas Ciy to see Pavlina and other old friends. We are also planning to make the most of this magical crystal-white season(soo much snow, I love it, though I hate the cold and I am getting sick again!). Last weekend was majestic; we had a snow storm, all highways were blocked, we took the metro to the downtown, the National Air and Space Museum is there, and I was eager to see all those space ships. We also bought tickets for the the Space Ship 3D documentary- it played on IMAX at the Lockheed Martin Theatre (this is DC!) just inside the museum. With the heavy snow outside, and the life-sized authentic space ships inside, we had an exhilarating time. We watched in awe how the International Space Ship was constructed in the space by Russian, American and Italian teams (I learned, for instance, that astronauts sleep on their feet!) then, we walked in the snow, enjoyed the snow flakes as they slowly covered all the buildings around, and walked more.... We also decided to go skiing this winter, maybe next weekend, with some friends or on our own. We have affordable resorts around, and it won't be too hard to pick one and have a solitary weekend in the wilderness. ( I guess I am trying to write something fun, something that does not include "I am tired" or "I worked today like all other days:)"). Adios for now.
