Solar eclipse Sunday

While I was able to just step outside to see the lunar eclipse on November 8th, I will have to watch the solar eclipse tomorrow via webcast from Antarctica. Viewing time in the eastern U.S. is 5:19 to 6:19 pm. See space.com or MSN for details. What's it all mean? There's a very cool interactive show at MSN, a nice story on the people and penguins watching from Antarctica at National Geographic, and an astrological interpretation at StarIQ. Something for everyone!

Nomar and Mia tie the knot

The Boston Globe says that Nomar Garciaparra and Mia Hamm “plan to tie the knot today.” Rumors and more rumors have been swirling that the Red Sox are considering trading the shortstop to Anaheim – where he and Mia can happily practice on the soccer fields all year round. We’ll see. Meanwhile, congratulations and best wishes to Nomie and Mia. Cute couple.
