My daughter also traveled everywhere with me, but I couldn’t have done it without the help of my very supportive husband! Now age 12, she wants to be a pilot!

I rewatched the whole series last year, and I don’t think we knew Skinner’s middle name beyond the initial (which was always prominently displayed on his desk).
Also, if anyone has a link to that deleted scene in the car, I’d love to see it!

Love this thread! I have two CR boxes in my house, and one in my workplace. They work really well! (See old and new filter for comparison.)

I’m participating in #xfiles25days today. For my favorite Scully scene, I pick Ghouli. Seeing Scully speak to her “dead” son kicked me right in the gut. There are few people who understand the pain that comes from losing a child. To see my childhood hero speak what I have felt took my breath away.

Attending the NASA Dragonfly meeting at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab this week. Got to see a new half-scale model of the Lander. My colleagues in engineering are doing amazing work! So thankful to be a part of this team. dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/index.php
