Welcome to Sunday All Day Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. As a child I fell in love with the planet Mars. I always wanted to visit although it looks like the space program is not going to get around to that in my life time or at least before I'm too old to go. One of my prized possessions is my autographed copy of The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. He was a guest at the first science fiction convention I ever went to.
I have decorated my house with my favorite Martian, Marvin. The little green guy has always cracked me up. I even had my friends make me a L'arpie Marvin the Martian. I was up in the early morning hours when Curiosity landed on Mars. In fact I was live blogging with the rest of the geeks here on Daily Kos. I went back and forth from here to Facebook where one of my favorite people of all time George Takei was live blogging too.
So here's to the red planet and its little green dressed man. Long may they fire up the imagination of children of all ages.
