Scroll down to the picture of the group waiting for the image -- the pic
on the left. That'd be My Boy wearing glasses and a big grin sitting in
front of a Mac monitor.

JUST had a note from him explaining that picture -- "to the right is a
full bank of photographers taking about 30 pictures per second of me and
Ingrid and Anjani talking and waiting for the image to come in. " :-)
Whoops, gotta sew the buttons back on my shirt. "-)

They're pretty pumped in the Lunar and Planetary Lab, that's for sure.
Their camera is not only working perfectly (Chris had a couple small
pieces programming the instructions for the shutter clicks, I think.)
but they are receiving fabulous images. From 1500 miles out now,
eventually they'll get in to maybe 150 miles up when the 'real' pics
happen this Fall. These are test and calibration images. Boggles MY
mind. And he understands it. Didn't get that gift from me, though. :-)

OB Food: He's been cooking a Thanksgiving turkey annually since moving
there about 12 years ago. Lots of Thanksgiving morning phone calls,
"Mom, how do I. . . " "Mom, how should I. . . " "Mom, what do you do
with...." :-)
