it's true. his name is Mr. James C. Adamson. here's a link to his NASA bio.
i met him while sitting outside the Marriott: Long Beach this evening. he told me about being in space, and what it's like to mentally prepare for being chucked into the sky, and possibly most interesting, he explained the importance of aeronautical relations between the USA and Russia. apparently, when the countries are having intergovernmental issues, the "White Beard Council" (as he referred to himself and a group of other old space guys) can step in and chat with their counterparts in Russia, and help to smooth things out.
Jim Adamson, if you're reading this, then thanks for sitting and chatting with me. it was easily one of the highlights of this trip.

in other news.... i'm turning 21 on friday! tomorrow i'm going to Disneyland with my family, and on the 10th, my mother, my sister, and myself are going to a day spa to get massages/pedicures/etc. should be really fun.
a big apology to everybody who's bugged me about not keeping up with my blog, and to those of you who didn't harass me as well. i've been working on getting back to my life, and hope to continue blogging as long as i can find access to the internet.
i'm going to go up to the hotel room and pass out now- we all took one of those infamous 6 am flights this morning, and i'm beat.
cheers!
