I Love the Moon

One thing I find amazing about our perspective on the planet we call Earth is that our moon and sun (named Moon and Sun–how generic is that?), although millions of miles apart, happen to look almost the same exact size in our sky. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon but we think of them as even, balancing out day and night due to some stellar coincidence. How’s that for a grand design?

My photograph of our moon taken through the lens of a telescope. A mysterious and unfortunate shadow resulted.

Area Writer Breaks Down and Buys Magnetic Poetry Kit

After years of loving to play with them on other people’s fridges, I finally got one for myself. I can’t explain the delay since I’ve both loved words and magnetics for as long as I can remember. So far, it’s been fun to play and get the creative juices flowing. The problem I’ve run into is that there aren’t enough words included in the kit. But then I think, if I have something so specific I want to say, I should just do some “real” writing!
