Ah yes... the window story (sliding door?) My uncle ran through a glass door in his teens, has some nice scars to show for it. In a weird twist of irony, his daughter was at my house about 10 years back (at roughly his age) and ran straight into OUR glass door... fortunately she wasn't running, but rather had just started to move, but it was funny, and even a bit of "bad juju" that the scenario would almost play out identically.

Glad things went well. Bet the shuttle launch was AMAZING. On my To-Do list.
