Another Dream Crushed

Debbie and I were watching a rerun of The Big Bang Theory last night. This was an episode where Howard

is invited on a mission to the International Space Station. Howard’s girlfriend tries to talk him out of it; she’s worried about his safety and so on.

I turned to Debbie and said, “If I get a chance to go to space, you won’t try to talk me out of it, will you?” She looked at me and said, “You take Dramamine® when you get on an airliner. You think you’re going into space?”

Brutal, but true. I can’t read in a car, the weightless sensation in an airplane makes me beg for a crash to end it, and I wouldn’t ride a roller coaster for all the money in the world.

Another dream crushed. I’m never going to be an astronaut.
