April 1 / 2026

 Blast off!!! Nassau is sending 4 earthlings to the moon and I can't even get my blog entry done for the month. Good thing Louise is at mission control. That's all I have, I'm flying by the seat of my pants here, no booster rockets for me.

Have a great day, or should I say, great night.

👍Very funny, Edward! 🥲I did not expect to be so emotional as I watched TV coverage of yesterday’s count down⏱️ and blast off moments🚀. Now, I look forward to following the amazing ten-day journey of the Artemis capsule, Orion and its bold crew🌖. In the meantime, it is full speed ahead here on the blog🎉, thanks to your timely April intro👨🏻‍💻. Welcome aboard, Ed!

💌Love, Louise
