I can't believe my countdown clock is now missing a column, the day column. We are just 6 hours and 14 mins from liftoff and we are pretty excited. No one is getting any sleep tonight. I had the most beautiful morning at the top of the launchpad with Terry, it was AWESOME, outstandingly beautiful and special. I took the best picture of us in front of Endeavour but can't figure out how to download it from my hotel room, ugh! Where are you Mike? Anyway, weather and systems look good so we will head to our viewing site shortly. Terry called me earlier this evening after he had eaten breakfast, Cocoa Puffs for those who want to know, and believe it or not, he slept over 8 hours last night. His TPS classmates will vouch that he can sleep almost anywhere. The crew ate breakfast and then they are headed for some final briefings, a quick lunch and finally to the suit room, where they will put on their official orange spacesuits at 12:09 and head to launchpad 39A at 12:49. I stand amazed as I stare at the picture of Endeavour on the TV screen, that Terry will shortly ride that rocket into space. God has surely blessed our lives. One final question from my dear friend Kathleen, she asked if Terry is sneaking any chocolate into space? No, he doesn't even have to sneak it up, he made his own menu for the trip and amazingly enough, he has a chocolate dessert scheduled for every single lunch and dinner of the entire mission. GO ENDEAVOUR!!!
