April 1, 1997

It's hard to believe that today is the first day of April. In seven more days I will have reached the half way point of my journey, even though it feels like the real adventure is just about to begin. Work in the lab continues steadily, I've heard several "groundhog day" jokes already. Sometimes it feels like the same day just keeps repeating itself. Today's picture is the U.S. flag flying above the Operation Deep Freeze Navy command center.
