Santa's sleigh has arrived. Valery and I have really been very good boys this year so we're certain there are going to be lots of goodies on board for us.

Waiting for the end, boys, waiting for the end.

It's not the pristine world that you see on Star Trek, where you see the neatly pressed uniforms, ... What we have is perhaps, from a storage and organization standpoint, is well-managed chaos.

It's not that we're not feeling celebratory, ... The space shuttle isn't flying right now. And we got to figure out how to finish flying the space shuttle in the next four years and to finish building the space station like we promised to.

The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet.

We need to stop penalizing boys for late homework. This is a superstition and there's no evidence that this does any good. It just keeps them out of college.
