Kind of a wonderful thing
My parents live on the fringes of the middle of nowhere.
A couple nights ago, I took the dog out for a walk, looked up, and saw the Milky Way for the first time in years. So many stars, so many, and they seemed so close, and looking at them I could understand why thousands of years ago people told stories about men and women changed into stars, and why today we tell stories about people lucky enough to travel through them.
Then, somewhere in the neighborhood of Venus, I saw a shooting star.
And that was kind of a wonderful thing.

Oh! And I had my preview ofthe_oscar_cat's reading of the kissing ficlet I posted over at sheafrotherdon's LJ, and she makes it poetry. I can't wait to hear the rest.

If I had the courage and the money, I'd be one of the first to sign up for civilian space travel. The courage I can work on, but the money... Clearly I'll have to marry someone rich, and indicate in the prenup that this is the sole condition upon which I will marry him.
That we live in an age that can even entertain the possibility... Wow.
