We're watching the lunar eclipse. The first time I saw that beautiful phenomenon, my father awakened me in the early hours of the morning, and we drove to a place where we could see the moon well. I was cold and sleepy. But it was worth it: to see the moon, and to have that special time with my dad.

Tonight we have it easy. We step out of our front door into the warm Florida night, and there is the disappearing moon, clear and lovely and perfectly framed. It reminds me of watching space shuttle launches, which we also see from our front yard. Except that this time I have no lingering fears that the beauty will splinter and fall as I watch.

Thanks for the blog entry. I had noted it, but I forgot about it, so your remi has let me look at it. I'm having trouble with your site, though. The right bar is overlapping the articles, and I can't even see what I'm typing very well. Is that me or you?

Grrr. You're not the only one with the overlapping bar complaint. It's hard to fix when it looks fine to me. :(

Ah, now I see. It's fine in Firefox and Netscape, but I get the problem in Internet Explorer. Now maybe I can do something about it.

That should do it. Let me know if there's further trouble.
