    I've thought a lot about the eclipse since seeing it. The image of looking at where the sun used to be, and seeing a black hole surrounded by the corona is burned into my brain.

    Three hundred miles from home, we did not leave until 2:40 and therefore subjected ourselves to a lot of traffic. I've been telling people that if I had it to do over again, including the traffic that we experienced, I would do it in a second. Actually if given the chance I would go about three times as far as we did, no question.

    My relationship with the sun and the moon are very different now. Intellectually nothing has changed, but emotionally, a lot has. Next one close to me is in 2024. I hope that I can make it.
