What ever *force* it was that caused me - beyond your feeble comprehension and decisively beyond your narcissistic wishful thinking - also had created those stories so that I could use them many years later to help me understand.

That period of time is Now.

The story is not literal, it's fiction, but it can be instructive, for *me*.

What's the matter, Mrs. Grimaldi?

It's nothing. He just don't want to go to school.

Doctor, Two Cosmonauts Undergo Medical Tests Aboard Atlantis-Mir

July 01, 1995 From Associated Press

HOUSTON — After 3 1/2 months of being the doctor, astronaut Norman E. Thagard became the patient Friday and was poked and probed aboard Atlantis-Mir, the linked U.S. shuttle and Russian space station.

Dr. Ellen Baker drew blood from Thagard, a physician, and his two Russian crew mates and performed physical exams to help scientists understand the effects on the body of long stays in space. Thagard spent 3 1/2 months aboard the space station Mir, a U.S. space endurance record.

Mission Control, meanwhile, was puzzled by the higher than expected use of fuel by Atlantis.

Astronauts Undergo More Tests Aboard Joined Spacecraft

July 03, 1995 From Associated Press

NASA has never had an opportunity to study such long-duration space fliers, and consequently wants to know everything about Thagard and cosmonauts Vladimir Dezhurov and Gennady Strekalov.

"I know they are tired at the end of the day. It's a long day," Sullivan said. "But I think they truly believe in the work that's being done, and they're excited about the results."

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Russian space agency tested the communication systems on Atlantis, Mir and the Soyuz capsule attached to Mir on Sunday in preparation for the undocking Tuesday.

Thagard, who turns 52 today, said that while he is looking forward to leaving Mir, it has been a memorable four months.

"I joked with these guys . . . you call for a taxi and wait forever," he said. "But the fact is, [Thursday's docking] was an emotional experience, one of the highest, I guess, of my life. I'm awfully glad to be here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing my family."

Oren Monash: You haven't trained for this mission. We respect you.

Tanner: I appreciate that.

Oren Monash: But you're here...you're here because the powers that be think we need a familiar face on this trip. You're here for public relations.
