I just stepped out on the back deck at the cottage. The moon is in the process of being eclipsed. It is a cool sight, but one that I did not enjoy for long as it is bitterly cold. I might return in a half hour or so to capture totality with my camera.

It was a pretty low key day. There was a dusting of snow on the ground this morning but not enough to be memorable. I drove around a little just to see what was happening. Not much it seems. The goats were not out. I did take advantage of the campus internet and watched the latest episode of The Blacklist. So far the new season is pretty good. I also resumed reading the Bob Lee Swagger books, number eight if I’m not mistaken, on my phone, courtesy of the Nashville Public Library. It is also good, and I hope to finish it tonight, even if it keeps me up until the wee hours.

This week should be very productive even though it’s supposed to be quite cold. The house is pretty close to being finished and I just need to focus and grind through some tedious tasks.
