Launch scrubbed for today, due to a failure in a back-up fuel sensor.

I heard the news about the scrubbed launch and thought of you, Mazzie. And then I thought "how cool is that, that I know someone for whom space shuttle launches are part of their career?" And then I remembered to stop thinking about how cool my (extended) life is and feel bad for NASA, and all the people who worked so hard to get to this day. I listened to the press conference and learned some hep terms like "Launch Critical.. um.. Element.. or Component" or something. But apparently I'm sleepy 'cause now I've forgotten it all. Back to my life of Tower Cranes and Soil Borings. Heavy on the Boring.
