I found that Brook had broken into my mom’s wine collection, consisting of about three cases of wine she’d accumulated in the basement, and had se...ected a Pinot Noir we’d picked up in California last year. Mom said it had a dry/earthy flavor. I was by no means an expert, but I liked it. To be truthful, though, I would’ve rather had a beer.I went into complete gentleman mode, pulled out Brook’s chair for her and poured her a glass of wine. I don’t remember what we ate.

We had pictures of Sally planting the Stars and Stripes in the shallow soil. Hindsight was great and I had brought a device to attach the flags to the solid rock with a special 22 cartridge. This procedure was dangerous, for a small fragment of rock could puncture our suits easily. The construction of the device was as well thought out as possible. The astronaut stood on a plate and the small explosion caused him or her to.
