I remember some 40 yrs ago today when Apollo landed on the Moon, we watched it on TV in the backyard of my uncles house, we were having a Bar-B-Q. It was amazing almost hard to believe that men where on the moon walking. I remember thinking that the Moon would not be the same after this landing. It would no longer be so mysterious, so much the stuff of dreams. On this anniversary I am in Athens and will be looking at the moon tonite thinking of that evening when I was a boy in my uncle’s backyard in Montreal.
What a wonderful time it was.
Today is the day: I remember my mother handing around green- veined cheese for us to eat when the astronauts landed on the moon. We were glued to the TV images of them bouncing around the moon's surface.

Even though I was a kid,I remember thinking about the thousands of years that we looked up at the moon,and wondered on it...The fact that we got there in MY lifetime was the coolest thing ever!
