When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut.  I’m not really sure what kind of factors influenced my longing for the career, but I was pretty dead-set on it for quite some time.  Then, I happened to watch part of the movie The Right Stuff when it was on t.v. one night and, after watching multiple crashes and failed missions, I decided that I was going to do something much more logical with my life instead…become a pro athlete!  I obviously had a vivid imagine imagination back in the day.  Maybe I was more delusional than imaginative, but that’s besides the point.

Anyway, apparently there is a McDonalds in Hartford, CT that looks like this:

Pretty weird, right?  It just looks like some space shuttle sitting on top of a McDonald’s play area.

If you look closer, though, you see this:

Not only has my childhood dream been realized, but they even gave me a Grey’s Anatomy-esque nickname, too.

(A big thanks to Erin for emailing me these pictures today.  Pretty awesome.)
