Who stayed home, who went out?

I went out to see the shuttle launch. Even from Tampa it is amazing to watch. It was brighter than the last night launch I remember seeing, but it was too hazy to see the SRB separation this time.
Still, it was amazing.

I usually stay home. Got the "I must go out" bug out of my system by 23 years of age, after college/frat. Never got the "I must drink" bug.

I went BIG for the first time in quite a few months. Hit a new club here in town as well as a friend/co-worker's girlfriend's college graduation.
I think I woke up still drunk - I haven't done that in well over a year! ~A

Finney -- I was in Tampa the night the shuttle was SUPPOSED to launch, at Busch Gardens.
Next night, I was leaving the corporate dinner at the Marriot World in Orlando when it went up. It's been a looooong time since there was a night launch of the shuttle, and it's one of the few joys of living in this area that I've seen that marvellous sight many times. A medium-sized crowd gathered outside at the appropriate moment and were well-rewarded. Everyone applauded as it finally disappeared into the cloud cover. It's such a lovely community moment. The later party (the one with all the drinking) could not have been more different. Held on a friend's tiki patio (which, sadly, will have to make way for a dance studio), this was the most Polynesian Yule celebration you've ever seen. To extend the coolness, those who wouldn't/couldn't brave the Florida "cold" (mid-50s F) could watch "Danger Diabolik" on the HDTV. The "punch" was AWESOME yet I woke up with no hangover. How DOES he do it??
