Earth has one natural satellite called The Moon

At 5AM this morning the moon was bright, full, and low - enjoying it's 'moon effect' and looking massive against the treeline. It was a lot more entertaining than the turnpike and I couldn't keep my eyes off it as it hung there right before me - like some odd glowing sphere just beyond the next ridge. Good thing not many people are out driving that early.

This has been my screensaver mantra for a few months now. Noone has asked what it is or it's meaning... maybe as a better than average educated bunch they already know and agree.

Friends For Clayton

This is a repost frome June - apparently the orig was accidentally deleted.

Clayton Edwards passed away Saturday June 24 at age 36. I had just found out he was fighting inoperable liver cancer not too long ago. He is survived by a wife and 3 year old son. The Friends for Clayton accepts contributions for the Edward’s family’s medical expenses. (see below).

His obituary says his smile was always thee no matter what. Funny – the picture I have of him in my head is smiling – that was Clayton.

Clayton was a great guy, funny, considerate, and always willing to lend a hand to get the work done and get out on time :) He had been a Big Brother for almost 10 years as well. I worked with him in the city for over 7 years and we had some real fun doing it. He began as a printer - we’d hang by his processor talking about whatever, how best to train our big dogs, my new baby, photography, our going back to school; or we’d go out onto the fire escape to get away and watch girls for a while. At one party he was impressed and a bit dismayed by Lori’s prowess at the game quarters. She’d land them in the glass every time and make him drink every time. He couldn’t believe it. He bacame a digital retoucher and we'd talk photoshop and computer classes. He loved learning new stuff.

I recall right before I changed jobs he was excited about having just bought a house. A place that was all his and his girlfriend’s and a place to finally park his huge car. They all liked it, even his dog Barkley.

Although I haven’t seen him in quite a while I will miss him and our early morning phone chats. And I will feel terribly for his wife, and a little three-year-old boy who may or may not remember his dad.
