I re-blogged this from a post in my WP Reader.  Cracked me up and I thought today would be the perfect day to share it. 

Mr Gorsky

On July 20 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.

His first words after stepping on the moon were, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” and they were televised to earth.

But just before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark, “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.”

Many people at NASA thought that it was a casual remark, concerning some rival soviet cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the ‘good luck, Mr. Gorsky’ statement meant. But Armstrong always just smiled.

On July 5 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year-old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt that he could now answer the question.

In 1938, when he was a kid in a small mid-western town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbor’s yard, by their bedroom window. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky

“Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon”!

True story……it broke the place up!

Tuesday Tootsies

I couldn’t decide what kind of shoes to to blog about this week, when my husband asked would I like an omelet since he was making one for himself?  He knows eggs aren’t my favorite, but once in a while I’ll have some, especially if he’s making an omelet.  He is the master at them and they are so delicious.  So, that gave me the idea to blog about food shoes.    I searched through my folder and came up with a handful, kind of a whole meal for you here.

Glorious gumballs!  So colorful, so chewy.  Whet your appetite yet?

A side dish of rice.  Could you please pass the butter and salt?  Maybe some parsley?

Ooh, a ham sandwich with Swiss cheese!  On toasted wheat!  I am SO there.    And it even has lettuce, tomato and onion.  What’s not to love?

Eggplant Parmesan anyone?  One of my favorite dishes.  Also, deep fried breaded eggplant slices, dipped in ranch dressing.  Yum!

And you know spaghetti and meatballs goes great with eggplant parmesan.    We have a great Italian meal here, with a few extras. 

 

I’m starving now!  How about you?

Whoops, just remembered something as I went to set the date for this post …

In honor of the 41st anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission that landed on the moon, Buzz Aldrin’s boot.
