I dont think TCT was a sperm yet no less a fetus.

I was about 6 months in the oven at that point.

I'm sure I was in school that day.  I'm pretty sure they sent us home early.  Now that I think about it, my step mom was on the couch in the tv rooom watching the coverage when I walked in from the bus stop.

I was at a friend's apartment in Heidelberg, Germany, munching on Burger King with my dad and a friend, on our way to a Mötley Crüe concert that evening, when their son (my brother's former classmate) came into the living room and told us that the Space Shuttle Challenger just exploded on takeoff.

It's a small world. I was on the same continent, studiously ignoring the tv which didn't speak my language, when my mother called out "I think something happened with the shuttle."

I can tell you, it was a little bizarre watching the videos, seeing the pictures, and knowing what happened (catastrophe), but no other details.

It was about as alone as any of us felt.

Surly grip indeed.
