68 days is the maximum gestation period for a dog. 68 days have passed since my last posting. Have I had puppies? No, sorry no puppies.
My family has, in the last 68 days, been blessed with to new members. Two girls born on the opposite ends of the earth. I was born in 1968 - year of the earth monkey. Shout out to earth monkeys.
The Smithsonian's 40th anniversary edition stated that by 2012 Richard Branson would send six persons 68 miles above the earth. 32 days ago Branson anounced that he will be among the first of a total of 529 persons, who have signed up to fly into space starting next year.
528 persons have been in space since Yuri Gagarin. I used to dream of travelling in space. Part of me is actually in space. My name is in space along with 880,000 others, dropped off in the asteroid belt by the Dawn spacecraft.
On the 25th of July Dawn concluded mapping the protoplanet Vesta from a high altitude orbit of 680 kilometers. On the 25th of June, I got my first tattoo. It depicts a japanese cherry blossom. Life can change in 68 days. I think of the chilean miners rescued after 68 days. Life can change in 1 day. I imagine 68 years ago on a beach in Normandy.
