Thanks, Dad!

So yesterday was the first day of the retreat. Imagine my surprise when my dad called us up during dinner.

I had heard something about a lunar eclipse, but hadn't given it much thought. I've always missed them before, either due to circumstance or weather or other factors.

But Dad had all the information we needed - start time, totality and...well, okay. That's about all we needed.

It was beautiful. Thanks for the heads-up.
