October 9, 2025 SPACE ODDITY
A few years back--I wrote a blog about my eyebrows. I was wondering what happened to THEM as they seemed to be mysteriously disappearing. I was actually being FACETIOUS at the time BUT NOW-- I'M NOT. Seriously--I pretty much only have ONE EYEBROW. The other one seems to be spotty at best with gray hair trying to fill the void. I look ridiculous--and can't walk out the door without trying to fix this injustice brought upon ME with age. I've had to spend an obscene amount of money on brow pencils, powders, gels and tints to make my eyebrows "look natural"??? Not sure if I should go to the extreme--maybe try the Nano Brow or Brow Tattoo. This is A LOT FOR ME........On to something I can handle....Recently finished a book I really enjoyed by Taylor Jenkins Reid called Atmosphere. As the story unfolds, it's 1984, at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the Navigator Space Shuttle has been damaged in space and it's Joan Goodwin from mission control, tasked with the duty to get them home safely. The story then flips back in time to 1980 as Joan Goodwin, a physicist and astronomer, applys and is accepted into the NASA program. While training to be an astronaut she forges friendships and more with other candidates including pilot Hank Redmon, scientist John Griffin, mission specialist Lydia Danes and Vanessa Ford, an aeronautical engineer. She also manages a hectic like that includes helping her sister Barbara raise her daughter, Frances. Although the book is fiction, it is inspired by a real historical event includng the experiences of the first class of women astronauts and the difficulties they faced. Find out whether Goodwin gets the Navigator and the astronauts home safely when you read this hard to put down book for yourself. Enjoy.
