I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

As the media won't let us forget, today is the anniversary of Neil Armstrong's moonwalk when he blew his one line of dialogue. The tape clearly has him saying, "One small step for Man, one giant leap for mankind." What he was meant to say was "one small step for 'a' man," which has a very different meaning, and is what we've been told he did say for the past 40 years, despite the clear evidence to the contrary.

Just love the cartoon John... sooo funny! LOL
Maybe it was a freudian slip and meant to be. Those few small words allowed ALL mankind to share in the remarkable achievement. Which of course they did. It was a team effort on the part of many people and that can never be underestimated or overlooked. Why even the aussies got a lookin.... with those pictures of the first steps beamed to the world from downunder. It's a wonder they didn't look upside down! (((chuckles)))
wonderful, my favorite but must admit, very glad that I have no children to raise at this point. Share you sentiments, Jean but four days of media jazz is three days too long, in my humble opinion.
Turn it all off Lee ;-) It's the only sensible thing left to do in this seemingly gone crazy world! LOL
