Snapshots from Tuesday Night



Sometime after 10pm: Settled into the (big) couch with a glass of wild grape white wine and watched "The Blindside" for the first time.  I adored it.

12:02am (technically Wednesday):  Finished watching the Blindside, send A-Chef off to the deep dark basement to retrieve the final batch of laundry from the dryers.

12:04am:  Fire Alarm.  Someone was using a fog machine.  On a Tuesday night.  Alone in his room.  

12:04am and 30 seconds:  Piled on a sweater, scarf and my snuggly winter boots on top of my pjs (because it was about 40 degrees out) and headed out the door.

12:05am:  Witnessed the brightest and most beautiful full moon of my life.  I didn't have my camera with me, and couldn't go inside to get it, but no matter.  A photograph would have been a waste.  It was almost like looking at the sun - so bright that my eyes needed to adjust before I could see the gray shadows and craters that make the moon the moon.  I laid down in the chilly grass in the dark to watch for a while as transparent clouds drifted between the moon and me - still not blocking out the light by any means.  Thanks kid with a fog machine.  Living out here in the unlit country isn't so bad sometimes.

12:43am:  Back inside and time for bed.  TTFN.
