“This is what brought Richard Nixon down. It’s called abuse of power. It’s a criminal offense. It is very, very serious. For that reason alone, the president should be given a heads up that something might be coming that is that serious.”
- Lanny Davis, former Clinton administration special counsel, on why the current White House Counsel should resign if she knew about IRS abuses

Don’t take no for an answer…
Don’t get comfortable…
There are no shortcuts. If you cut to the front of line, you just don’t enjoy the ride as much. Really. You need to sweat with the masses.
And don’t worry about what others are doing; they are nothing more than a distraction. Drown out the critics. Don’t engage in office politics or gossip. Don’t worry about the guy next you.
Run your race.

Teen Killed by Neighbor after Entering Wrong House
I’ve covered a lot of sad stories, but this one really got to me. A 16-year-old sneaked out of his home to go to a party. A few hours (and a few drinks) later, he tried to sneak back in by climbing through a window. But it was the wrong house! The person who lived there thought he was a burglar, so he shot him and killed him.
The question everyone keeps asking me is… how could he have not known it was the wrong house?! It’s actually a relatively easy mistake to make when you see the layout of this neighborhood. Check it out for yourself in the above video.
It’s been a depressing few years for human spaceflight. Space shuttles were shelved, Constellation was cancelled…
Enter Dennis Tito, a multimillionaire and the first tourist in space, who just announced plans to send two people to Mars by 2018. 2018!! That’s in five years!! His plan is wildly aggressive and ambitious. But after a 40 year hiatus from deep space, it’s also living up to its name and inspiring.

P.S. The two-person crew will likely be a married couple! Unfortunately for me, my husband is claustrophobic and apparently he has a problem with drinking our recycled urine for 501 days. Really babe? Come on, compromise.
