I'm stuck in Houston because of spring break.  Basically, it's the worst time of year to be trying to fly standby anywhere.  Larry (my father in law) and I are going to try to return to Vermont tomorrow, but our chances are not looking great for making it all the way.  My odds of getting a seat increase somewhat flying with Larry because of his seniority in the Continental food chain, but that assumes there are standby seats available for us to beat others to in the first place.  All those college students returning to school are mucking things up.

Anyway, Larry and I drove down to Clear Lake, Texas today and toured the Johnson Space Center.  Here are some pics...
