Apollo Artist

It's the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 12 mission to the moon. That probably doesn't ring a lot of bells for most people, but in our house...

Each of our children has been coaxed at one time in their young lives to say, "Yes, Daddy, I'll be an astronaut and take you to the moon." My husband doesn't dream of our children becoming doctors or lawyers or teachers or firefighters. Nope. Astronauts. He's just quirky that way.

Anywho, as I was driving down the road today listening to NPR I heard the story of Alan Bean. Way cool guy.
