The Week in Brief

Woof. This is the first day this week that I've actually felt awake and up to doing something useful after work. Which means there is plenty of useful stuff that I really need to get on top of...

Piper Photos

I'm finally looking at a few pictures from the eclipse trip. Here's Piper at Bob Moomaw's Hippy Memorial in Arcola, Illinois. Peace, little pupper. Peace.



And here she is visiting Bluto in Chester, Illinois. Good thing he likes dogs. Popeye would probably show up if he tried to bully her anyway.



This trip made me ache to do more traveling. I miss it so much.

Brain Damage / Eclipse

I think that, for the rest of my life, as I approach the end of Dark Side of the Moon, this is an image, a memory, a feeling that will trip through my mind from the rising of the first chord of Brain Damage until the final note of Eclipse fades away.

Next time, maybe I can rent a longer lens for photos specifically of the moon in front of the sun. But seeing the whole sky turn to dusk and a false sunset spread across the entire horizon, and having a picture that makes some attempt at capturing that experience, I have no regrets.
