old names

found out hope has died.
not going to go into this to deeply as i have mixed emotions concerning the person hope was and the way he lived his life.
he left here to head out to las vegas 5 years ago. regardless.

it's a small world.
one of the boys ran into an old "hanging out" friend of hopes' from vegas, in town.
telling me about it led to a discussion of "the family" which led to a discussion about the mayan/toltec calendar and then on to the galactic center.

which than led me to looking at nasa's site - found this gem.
APOD: September 11, 1999 - The Annotated Galactic Center

2012 - we shall see if all this "family", toltec/mayan stuff is for real or not.
