Page 30, "Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies.....":

This is where I used an old photo of my youngest son, Matt. He loved flying in the little rocket ride at SixFlags. I can just picture him imagining he was soaring through the sky, slipping the surly bonds of earth like that great quote says. In Photoshop, I faded out all but the central focus of the photo. I wanted to see SixFlags in the background, but yet I wanted it to be a dim reality. Then I drew a bit of rocket blast and stars over the photo before printing it out. On the right side I carried out the flying through the heavens thing with stars and a button sun and cosmic swirls.
