Lunar eclipse -

Tonight I walked down to the marsh to see the moon disappear and it is still disappeared.  Cars were speeding by, and lined up at the pharmacy at Walgreen's.  I seemed to be the only one out noticing the movement of earth and moon.   Then, one man came out of the grocery, all excited to see it too, so we shared it.  I don't know what it is that draws some of us to it, and leaves others content inside.  I am waiting now for it to reappear.  It is pretty cloudy, so I will see if I can see.  It is warm this evening.  I find myself wanting to sleep outside on the deck.  I'll see if I am up for dragging enough blankets out there to make a comfy nest.

I heard today that Barack Obama in his speech last night suggested that education for children begins with turning off the TV and video games and having parents read to their children.  What could be better than that?    This guy knows the way to my heart.

Time to settle in with some books, and keep peering out to see the moon.
