Armando Eduardo de Zayas

My family mourns the passing of my grandfather, Armando Eduardo de Zayas, on June 2nd, 2008. My brother and I knew him simply as Alo. He was 89. He is pictured here with my late grandmother, Ela. We miss them both terribly.

Sounds like a headline from The Onion

Imagine my relief when I went to the New York Times website today and discovered that the:

Space Station Toilet is Working Again

What a relief - I was going to start losing sleep. Now if they can just get the microwave to stop throwing off sparks we could have ourselves a real space program!
