To the moon (again)

I was once a member of the open lunar x prize team, but that fizzled almost as quick as it started. I've now started a new endeavor to put a reddinaut on the moon, well, first an unmanned mission not unlike the lunar x prize.

All the goings on are at reddit.com/r/tothemoon for now, though we should be moving over to a more featured CMS shortly. I'll keep you up to date on the latest, we'll see if this goes or fizzles. I'm really hoping for the former.

Then it hit me

I was just sitting here thinking of nothing in particular (the best way to think), and the importance of keeping a journal came to me. So, here's what I've done today:

• Carved a pumpkin (pictures to follow)
  
• Went to church
• We cooked a frozen lasagna (Michelle still doesnt' like it)
• I played some farmville, though I hope this isn't a recurring theme for my journal entries
• I realized the practical importance of keeping a journal

I always though a journal was something for my grandkids to pick up and get a little amusement out of. But I've been looking for a way to increase my own productivity, and I see how a journal could do that. We do better when we report our progress. Hopefully my grandkids will get a kick out of this someday, but all of a sudden it's important for me too. We'll see if it seems like such a priority when Monday rolls around, though I imagine it will. What a great way to collect my thoughts and move toward my goals. Here's to writing it down!
