A big Hello to Lindsay and all the Romantics. Is it me or does that sound like a music group? I’m glad my blog tour, hosted by CRR Promotions , stopped here at the Pink Blog. Since I try to adapt my subjects to each blog as possible, I searched my mind for a “special” theme related to my new book, Off The Moon , and came up with Home . Not just any home, but the right home, the home...

" Introduction A few times in human history, astronomers have made discoveries that changed people’s view of the universe and of themselves. The most renowned of these was Copernicus’ suggestion, and Galileo’s subsequent proof, that the Earth orbited the Sun, rather than vice versa. This list should also include the discovery that stars are other Suns, that some nebulae are galaxies...
It may not have taken a rocket scientist (or aficionado) to have guessed that the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch and NASA tweetup would cause a spike in Twitter traffic. What is surprising is that it wasn't the most-tweeted NASA story of the past week--that honor goes to the announcement of the discovery of water on the Moon.

Josh Poehlein is a Rochester Institute of Technology Photography Graduate. I stumbled upon his work the other day and I really dug it. His pieces are the perfect mix of photography and doodling - something I rarely (if ever) see. I find this to be a very interesting approach so I figured it might be nice to share some of his work with you today. He calls this collection "Borderlands". Borderlands...
The mission that plunged a rocket into the moon's surface last month detected about 25 gallons of water in the form of vapor and ice -- enough to inspire hope for a lunar colony. Scientists have found "significant" amounts of water in a crater at the moon's south pole, a major discovery that will dramatically revise the characterization of the moon as a dead world and likely make it a more...

I was pleased to read on Friday about the discovery of water on the moon, but not for the lame-o, unimaginative reasons given by various scientists and reporters. Before we get to the point, let’s just mention a few of these reasons so you can read how dull they are. Michael Wargo, a chief lunar [...]
A foothills theater that has proved too popular for its premises is again feeling the heat from neighbors and county government. It's been more than two years since the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors directed the operators of the Olde Coloma Theatre, known for its melodramas and performances for schoolchildren, to apply for a special-use permit or bring down the curtains. The Coloma Crescent...
Memory flash -- maybe 1964 or '65 -- East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Mouse Trap. Does anyone else remember this? "It's Mouse Trap!" I was working today on an odd job that required getting up before dawn, and this came to mind. Proust meets Freud and another memory surfaces. Do you remember any favorite childhood games or whatnot? I just remembered a model of the Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space...
Exciting lunar news: NASA moon crash struck lots of water . The lunar dud for space enthusiasts has become a watershed event for NASA. Spacecraft that crashed into the moon last month kicked up a relatively small plume. But scientists have confirmed the debris contained water - 25 gallons of it - making lunar exploration exciting again. Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. So the...
