The sun came out today briefly, so I went out to do a couple errands. It didn't last long and then we were back in the greyness -- with rain turning to snow in the evening. When the grading was finished, I was very late getting online, where I heard the news about he death of John Glenn. The second person to orbit the earth and later the oldest person to join a space mission. He was 77 the second time he went up, the first being a Mercury mission and the second on the shuttle decades later.
Thinking through songs, a couple came to mind. The one I chose has a more sedate sound with a slight minor note to it. While not a traditional Christmas song, this one does use much of the story with a twist. It seems fitting for the day with the loss of one of the original NASA space program astronauts. Enjoy!
