Like a needle penetrating the skin,
The spacecraft enters the orbit and more.
All of the astronauts prepare within.
There are great bits of grit that each must store.
Each woman and man reaches for gauges.
Every screen and module paints the space tale.
Their erudite smarts only assuages.
Them during this trip that could simply fail.
But their minds are focused on just winning.
All of the calculations inspire.
Even as they remain in space, spinning.
They float in the ship, pumped like a new tire.
Their journey will take them to points unknown.
In their logs they will write how far they’ve flown.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
