August 21 is approaching. The big celestial event. Everyone is flocking to the totality zone to bathe in anywhere from one to four minutes of total darkness in the afternoon.

Yes, I’ll be one of them. However, it should be an impressive event for the entire nation. Should I decide to stay home, the sun will be in 99.4% transit by the moon from my backyard. That’s a bit of darkness.

I’ve been reading online about the eclipse. So many people have been planning their day for months. I guess I should be more of a planner.

My plan is to drive to the center of totality sometime Monday morning and wait. Bring a book, my iPod and sunscreen... and wait.

Thought about bringing a girl, but she’d only prove to be a distraction.

There is a similar eclipse coming in 2024. It is four hours away, at least... instead of only one. Yes, I’ll plan that one.

We’ll see how this one goes. There’ll be so many people. One can argue we’re experiencing peak Facebook/social media, so everybody knows about this. People will be flocking to this event that may not have back in 1979, simply because there’s more information and awareness at our disposal.

Not that that’s a bad thing. Even for an introvert.

I’m looking forward to it. Maybe I’ll meet some great people and start some lasting friendships.

In the darkness.

Bring it.
