Once in a Red Moon
Night-owls and very-early birds will get a treat around 2:50am tonight (uh, Tuesday morning): a total lunar eclipse.
Bonus points for watching it while waking up your neighbors with your rendition of “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

I have 3 boys, 10, 10.5 and 11. The 11 year old is really into science and has been asking a million questions. Being foster kid, I asked if he’s seen a lunar eclipse. He said no. So I let him know if I can see it I’ll wake him up. I don’t bother waking the younger two. They are medicated and sleep like logs. They also don’t seem to share the same curiosity. I am not sure I can remember the lyrics to that song, but I don’t have a problem upsetting the neighbors, they don’t like us much anyway, and will probably have something to say that I have my child in the front yard at wee hours of the night!! Go figure. Some people can’t mind their own business.
