I happened to be in the right place at the right time today, the top tier of a parking structure near the GW bridge. I was joined by 5 other excited spectators who braved the chill temperatures to watch the shuttle pass in review. It was so moving that I waited for it to turn and come back down river. It brought a tear to my eye, but I am not sure why. I was happy to see that I was not alone in that among my rooftop companions.

Paying Respects to the Space Shuttle, Too
