Homesick

This was weird. Just for fun, I used Google Maps to look up the address of financial partners who recently moved. Turns out they are just around the corner from their old residence in the vicinity of Lompoc, California. Then, on a whim, I zoomed out and scrolled over to Vandenberg AFB where I used to work when I was in the Air Force. I zoomed in on Space Launch Complex 3 where I participated in Atlas rocket launches in the 80's, and I was immediately consumed with home sickness. I could easily see the building I used to work in, the place where I parked my car, and the launch sites I used to walk around. I guess I miss my old job more than I thought. Google Maps can be a dangerous thing...

A second chance

Well, I came here today with the express purpose of deleting the blog since my last entry was 2 1/2 years ago. I'm clearly not much of a blogger. Then, I discovered that Google had added an analytics meta-page that revealed some hits to the site this month. I cannot imagine who is looking at it, but I wouldn't want to disappoint my follower(s), so I'll try to keep this going. For whoever out there is reading this, thanks. :-)
