Greeting Fellow Parkies on the Path, As I was watching the Russian-American team on the space shuttle Atlantis, I had a flash that this looks just like my young onset group. Everyone trying to pay attention but due to no gravity, they sort of float around in their chairs, bodies dancing around of their own volition. One person is trying to sit on a hand that keeps drifting off. When one person speaks, their involuntary movements increase with the others rising and falling, each one in their own stylized movement pattern. It was so familiar and sweet somehow. I though of us in our space capsules, working against seemingly impossible scientific odds, exhanging information, carrying on even without something as familiar as gravity to hold on to. I salute each of you, brave travelers - I am inspired by your vision and courage. I am proud to be part of our crew. Happy 4th. JCH1016, aka Julie in Petaluma, CA.
