Geek Night

Last night we had some friends over for a lunar eclipse party. I couldn't understand why none of our neighbors were out to watch the moon enter totality (promptly at 8:06 EST!) until Derek mentioned that we must be the only geeks living on our street. Well, yeah.

I claimed that the eclipse was just a good excuse to have some friends over for food, wine and fun (which we had: food and wine and fun), but I early on betrayed my excitment by using the term totality to begin with.

Well I also found a bunch of geeks to be with. I spent the night in Sprimgwater and it was so cool. Not a street light in sight. You could see the stars and all. One thing I found to be really cool was that the moon was at it's fullest at 8:13 and the totality followed shortly after. Caleb was excited he looked out and kept everyone upto date on the status of things. When the moon was once again shining in it's glory there was a lot of howling OHOOOOOOOO!!

Heh, Caleb is my kind of stargazer. Glad you had fun. The moon looked pretty good here in the city, I'll bet it was gorgeous where you were.

I still want to know what we saw that night. Have you done any investigation, Ken?

Kari's been bugging me about it all week. I'm trying not to think about it. I'm taking a head-in-the-sand approach since I feel like I can't sufficiently describe it to be able to figure out what it could have been.
