I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I hope 2009 is productive for what you set out to accomplish and is safe for you all. I am currently in Boston spending New Year's and it is very cold. We had some snow fall yesterday and today it is sunny (still 8 degrees F) but still a great day to walk around to see some highlights of the city.
Thanks to all those who read my blog and for your encouraging comments. Here's to 2009!!! Cheers from Boston!

"Kick One Here" Campaign Kicks Off
In Florida
01/30/2009
"Keep One Here."
That's the rallying cry of a grass-roots group that began a bid Thursday to make certain either Atlantis, Discovery or Endeavour roosts in retirement at Kennedy Space Center.
The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C., likely will have first dibs. The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, is expected to compete.
So is the The Museum of Flight in Seattle and perhaps NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and Marshall Space Flight Center in Hunstville, Ala., not to mention the city of Palmdale, Calif., where the orbiters were built.
NASA in December put out a notice to gauge interest from educational institutions and science museums. The agency said it would cost organizations an estimated $42 million to ready an orbiter for display.
NASA said it would cost $28.2 million to "safe" a spaceship -- to deservice an orbiter and remove toxic propellants. Another $8 million would be required to prepare a ship for display. And it would cost another $5.8 million to ferry an orbiter to its retirement home.
Former KSC Directors Jay Honeycutt, Jim Kennedy and Bob Crippen -- the latter a former astronaut who piloted Columbia on its maiden voyage in 1981 -- all are involved in the bid to bring one of the birds to a final roost to KSC.
NASA officials at KSC will submit a proposal by March 17, and the grass-roots advisory group will meet again in mid-February to form a publicity campaign.
The idea is to display an orbiter at the KSC Visitor Complex, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Florida.
"We think that wea've got a nice place to display the shuttle, and to tell the story of the shuttle program," said Lisa Malone, director of external relations at KSC. "It's an important story to tell, and it makes sense to have one of the orbiters at the launch site."

Sorry, that link that I gave can not be trusted. So, here's another link to a variation of the article.
