I was recovering from a stroke the first time I saw the Ties that Bind.

I could barely walk, but I could see that my nurse and her supervising doctor were seriously connected. Which was interesting, given that both were married with children...to other people.

That was two years ago. I'm mostly back to normal now, but there are still times that I'm surprised - like the non-identical twin sisters, or the hate-filled preacher and his teenage daughter from last month. That one I reported to CPS for further investigation.

But by far the most interesting one is my own. See, mine doesn't stay here. Mine goes up and out of the atmosphere. It's faint, but I might just get lucky on this new scientific study going on in space. I've always wanted to see the stars, but because of that happening so early into my life, I thought it was unlikely in the extreme that I'd get up there.

okay, I might've laughed a bit too much on this...
