I went to bed after midnight last night, made a feeble attempt to see the lunar eclipse in the middle of the night (failed due to clouds) and then woke up again sometime after 4am and could not get back to sleep. I finally got out of bed around 5:30 as J was getting ready [...]

J was flying home last night and was delayed due to mechanical issue (isn’t it great that they only “discover” the issue once everyone was herded on the plane ready to take off?). While that sucked, there was an upside – since I didn’t have to leave to get him from el aeropuerto I was [...]
