I tripped and fell over Orville Wright's headstone

while walking through Dayton's Woodland Cemetery today.

I'm always awkward around celebrities.

3. You should see Erma Bombeck's grave.

2. Sounds like the beginning of a promising Steven Wright routine,
the title to a really strange song, or an essay exam theme from an old philosophy prof I had once.

Did you know astronauts took a tiny bit of the fabric from that first plane up to the moon? I was really moved when I read that. Seemed a fitting tribute.
