Saturday's Lunar Eclipse

Saturday’s Lunar Eclipse (Yahoo/AP)

I didn’t actually see this part of the eclipse, but I put off Peter’s bath so I could take him out during the totality, and then cut his bath short so I could show him the moon re-emerging. Peter asked whether an eclipse was dangerous, and wanted to hold my hand. Of course I told him nothing bad would happen to the moon…

…as long as he was good.

(Just kidding.)

  • Hah! The tale of Peter's baptism under the blood moon was hilarious...good to see your dark side! My wife and I put lawn chairs out in the darkest part of the yard and tried to watch it all, but man, was it cold.
