It is that time of year to do 2 of our favorite things. Sweat and Fly Rockets! Well maybe one of our favorite things and something we put up with to do the other! We are a go for Southern Thunder this weekend! Looks like the weather will be semi cooperative with Sunday looking like the...

I have looked into the costume to wear to Dragon*Con, bit it is several thousand to get the good one with the leather jacket, crop pants etc. but you can buy one on the Internet! ( yes I am that type of geek)

O I caught "The Rocketeer" on SyFy yesterday afternoon. My son was home from school with strep and we curled up on the couch and watched it together. I forgot what cheesy goodness that movie was. Oh and a young Jennifer Connaly doesn't hurt it's appeal, either. Anybody else catch this classic?
