The flash came first. Words yesterday: 2,680Total to date: 104,998Percentage complete (100,000/120,000): 105.0/87.5 The end is so near I can taste it, but I’m not there yet, and with other things that must be done today, I think it will be tomorrow before I finish.

Food on the Web

Photo of the Day: Lunar Eclipse. No, really, believe me!
I was feeling a bit disappointed in my best picture of the lunar eclipse tonight (this is about halfway to totality) until I saw John Scalzi’s photo. Now I’m thinking I did all right in the absence of a tripod and with a six-year-old girl tugging on my elbow and begging me to go back …
