Not to be outdone...

Ok, so I've learned that the X-Wing was not the only Star Wars Rocket to attempt flight the other day.  They also launched a Y-Wing.  Click here to see some of the footage from the onboard camera.

This video is a montage of three flights that day: X-Wing, Y-Wing, and a regular rocket.  I guess this rocket club does more than just the Estes rockets that I used to play with (thanks to Mom & Dad and the California Science Center {when it was called the California Institute of Science and Technology}) !

Galaxy

The L.A. Galaxy, that is.  Not that I expected them to do anything, since they stayed in the basement all year, but the Galaxy are officially eliminated from the MLS playoffs.

I just have two things to say:  wait until next year... and we still have David Beckham!

Failed X-Wing Launch

It really is too bad: 

They did so much work:

But the attempt to build an X-Wing that would fly has failed:

I guess they'll have better results next time.  But you have to admit one thing:  the first part of the launch was pretty cool.

October Baseball

October is here and with that comes pumpkin pies, apple cobblers, fiery leaves, and of course - post season baseball.

This year my NL team did not finish strong.  After quite a while in first place, the Dodgers ran out of gas; they barely finished above 500.  But there is always next year...

In the meantime I get to enjoy the events leading up to the fall classic.  October baseball is a great time, followed closely by April baseball.  As a close out on the 2007 Baseball, I would like to see the Cubs and Indians in the World Series.
