Midnight Cowboy

Just working through the tail end of a midnight shift so I haven't felt too creative the last few days. One more night to go and I'm looking forward to four days off. We are going to be redoing the floors in the two front bedrooms upstairs with laminate similar to the stuff in the master so I may have a go at that next week while Sandi is out of her room.
Had a chance to get out on the bike yesterday as the weather finally seems to be cooperating although it is at least 10 degrees colder than it should be, in my opinion.
I was just watching this movie a couple of weeks ago and now I read that the pilot of the famed WWII bomber "The Memphis Belle" has died of complications from a fall. The movie was great, although I hear that it was a highly fictionalized version of the bombers 25th and final bombing run into Germany setting the record for the most runs a single plane made. Nonetheless, it must have taken some raw courage to climb into that thing for every one of those missions.
