The Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off right on schedule at 2:28 this afternoon. Here's a video of the launch. I like the comment about "Atlantis steering into the center lane of Highway 129 en route to the International Space Station." For some reason, it reminds me of Buzz Aldrin's comment during Apollo 11 when CapCom Ron Evans said Eagle was cleared for takeoff from the Moon: "Roger, understand. We're number one on the runway." Good luck to the crew of STS-129.

I was watching The National on CBC last night, and I was deeply moved by a story about Master Cpl. Scott Vernelli, a Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan earlier this year. I would like to share the video because it is Remembrance Day.

Here, also, is a new song written and performed by John McDermott in honour of the Canadians who have been killed in Afghanistan.

Remember ten years ago when Jerry Falwell was talking about the Teletubbies being dangerous to children? He thought that the triangle on Tinky Winky's head was a gay symbol and that this was immoral. Many people thought Falwell was being ridiculous. But now it turns out he may have been right about Teletubbies being dangerous. A woman in London Ontario was the victim of an armed robbery on Halloween; a man in a purple Teletubby costume pointed a gun at her and demanded money. She gave him 40 dollars and he left without harming her. Police are still looking for the thief. I really hope this isn't the beginning of a Teletubby crime wave.

Apollo 13
Shotime1979 mentioned Ed Harris' performance in Apollo 13 and I agree, he was terrific. He said things like, "We've never lost an American in space and we're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch!" without sounding corny or...

I usually don't watch a movie just because a certain actor is in it, but Kevin Bacon is an exception to that rule. Like I said he is extremely versatile; people joke about the "generic Tom Cruise character," but there is no generic Kevin...
