I just finished watched “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” and I’m freaked out of my mind. Holy crap freaked.
My Eclipse
Last night the Earth eclipsed the full moon and my husband I were here to see it. I slept fitfully from 12 to 2:05 and then startled myself awake afraid I’d miss it. So we bundled up and headed out and stood on the driveway to look up at the half blindingly bright, half brownish-reddish moon.
