I slept late this morning,  and after starting my morning coffee in the pot,  I sat down,  checked mail,  and then fired up Radio to read the News from my aggrergator.  Doc’s post showed up first,  and I didn’t recognize for a couple of minutes what he was referring to,  because I had not separated “Columbia” from “Challenger” (I had not payed much mind to Columbia’s mission).  It was a little strange feeling that I got the word through the Weblog community,  though not surprising.  It was like getting a call from a friend or family member asking me if I had heard what just happened.  I suppose that kind of thing will happen more and more,  since the first news I read each day tends to be from my News Aggregator.  All the astronauts seem to be about the same age I am (46).
