Once In A Lifetime



No, it's not a David Byrne reference. (But you like how I managed to work one in there in a sort of backhanded fashion?) Driving home from the lake last week, I happened to catch Science Friday on NPR, and they were discussing astronomical events of the summer. 

Turns out the longest total solar eclipse of the twenty-first century will be visible in China while we're there, and on my son's birthday too. In a possible fit of overdoing it, I've ordered eclipse glasses for our whole travel group, which includes two other families.
