I forgot about the eclipse today, but a hundred or so mentions of it on local radio this morning reminded me.

We’re ready.  I placed a last minute order on Amazon Friday.

My family of teachers in Texas describe an afternoon of great excitement in their respective schools.  Everyone will have the special glasses and will gather outside, along with parents and other interested members of the community.

It sounds like fun.

A lot more fun than Banjo Man and I, here in the woods, donning our special glasses and staring at the eclipse together for a little while.  While not on the exact “path of totality”, we’re pretty close.  And the skies are clear.

The truth?  We are very busy getting ready to leave for the lake.  I have Things To Do.  LOTS of Things To Do.  A mere solar eclipse will not be allowed to slow me down.

Where are you watching?  Do you have glasses?  Will there be alcohol and party food?
