PTY Birthday Party on Mt. Wilson
I was just humbled and honored to be given an incredible surprise birthday party (42) on Mt. Wilson where we viewed incredible celestial objects through the 60-inch telescope operated by the great folks at the Mt. Wilson Institute. Our astronomer hosts Beth Nordeen & Arbi Karapetian (an old colleague of mine from JPL) gave us quite a show including the M33 Galaxy, Jupiter & it's moons, many globular clusters, the Eagle Eye Nebulae, Neptune, the Moon, etc. A group of my best friends and I enjoyed an incredibly stimulating and fun evening together, all made possible by my manager & wonderful friend Susan Lange. Thanks Susan....you're the BEST!

Just returned from "Catalina Cool" Video Shoot
We had the good fortune to get in a couple days of great weather on Catalina Island before things turned again. The film crew and I had a blast and I'm sure none of us wanted to leave. The video is being edited now & should be released by March 1. Thanks to Eddie Rouse, Robert Eibach & Susan Lange for all of their hard work!
