Another day for us all

I did not realize how many folks were interested in reading something I would write.  The beauty of fiction is that you can write about things you know, change things around a bit, and it appears to be "like" something you know, but not quite.  I can remember growing up and watching the first Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon programs. One of the segments was called Fractured Fairy Tales.  Blackbird is very much like that. Over the past 10 years I have collected countless articles about the space program and learned a host of things about what is possible and what is not possible. Blackbird is entirely possible, as there is no magic involved, and everything makes sound scientific sense, sound medical sense, and does not rely too heavily on coincidence.  Although things seem familiar to some of you, and you may think you recognize some events or characters, remember the old medical axiom:  common things occur commonly.  We humans are all a lot more alike than different.  However, it is the differences that make us ALL interesting.  John
