My Earliest Memory

In another blog entry, I mentioned my earliest memory being somewhere around age 2.  I had to go look it up.  It wasn’t too difficult because it was an Apollo moon launch, or at least it was a Saturn V rocket.  The last launch of a Saturn V that was going to the moon was Apollo 17 on December 7, 1972 but that was a night launch at about midnight and I remember the scene being in the daylight.  The previous daytime launch was Apollo 16 on April 16, 1972 so to my best recollection this was it.  I have memories of other people watching it on TV talking about it being a moon landing, so I would think this would be it.  No matter how accurate it all is, my earliest memory is of watching a television broadcast of a Saturn V rocket launch. 

What is the earliest/first thing you can remember?

Oh, and Be The Sloan

Using the pool

The pool has been complete for a few weeks now.  And even though it was barely 60 degrees today, the boys and I were in the pool.  The water was a nice 83 degrees but of course any body part that stuck above the water got cold pretty quickly.  Fortunately we were trying out a few new toys that sink to the bottom so most of the time we were completely submerged anyway.  Plus I cheated and put on my snorkel and mask so for most of the time, the only thing I had sticking out of the water was a snorkel tube and a few hairs.

It can be hard to find time to Be The Sloan

When you are on call for you team for the past week, it can be difficult to find time to Be The Sloan.  My on call started Monday morning at 8am, and so far I’ve had one night were I got to sleep until my alarm work me up.  I even got a call just before 5am today (Saturday). Since I was up, I decided to just Be The Sloan and stay up after I got the problem resolved at 6.  Made some coffee and fixed breakfast for the family.  Then went to the kids’ basketball games.
