Lunar eclipse tonight

There is going to be a total lunar eclipse of the full moon tonight which will be visible by most of the western hemisphere. Should be quite a show.

Today

This is one of those days when I could really use a REALLY BIG slug of Irish Cream in my coffee cup.

Hell, forget the coffee. Just leave me the bottle.

As Fiona would say, this would be a really good time to go hit someone. Or at least something. Unfortunately, I don't have karate tonight. (Maybe I should see if they'd let me drop in on the youth class.)

The Moon!

Did you see the eclipse? I did! I kept going out to the backyard to admire it again, in my boots and bathrobe, which was really silly, considering it was -6 degrees F. It was perfectly clear here in Minneapolis, so you could easily see Regulas and Saturn bracketing it. Lovely. It's emerging from shadow, but if you haven't seen it at all, go outside quickly and see it now. You won't see it again until 2010.
