Total eclipse of the something or other

The eclipse this morning, Tokyo 東京, circa 7:35 am... It was a very nifty experience, albeit a wee bit clouded up there. I'd actually "seen" a total eclipse once before, back in Australia when I was about 10 years old. This was more fun, since my 6-year-old Cocoa was so darned excited.


Here are me and Cocoa with our eclipse specs, looking like the audience at a 1950s 3D monster romp.

Cocoa's ones (the gold space-age pair) were absolutely brilliant. My disposable things weren't too bad...

I've seen a lot of really great pictures of the eclipse today. Missed this one but only have to wait around 173 years for the next one :)

Wow, will it be that long till the next one? Start stocking up on your longevity meds.

That's a very cool pic of the eclipse! Now, when's the book coming out?

Thanks, Jack! And the book should be out by the end of July!
