Been battling the summer heat. Not getting used to it but getting better at dealing with it. It does keep the crowds down at the tennis courts and golf courses but it hasn't kept Alesa and I away. Can't wait to head north next week to see the kiddos. Watched the launch on Sunday morning after mass and knew something wasn't right when it exploded. Hard to tell from such a distance but it was different than the other launches. For those who missed seeing Jupiter and Venus so close in the July 1st night sky I posted a picture.
