Here’s an illustration of what I meant by how awesome the crescent moon in the dawn looks with the morning star, Venus. I just love astronomy. Also, I know you’ve already bookmarked it, but you’ve got to keep going back to APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day). It really is frakking awesome.

Banzaii Japan!
The final game in the World Baseball Classic looks to have been a good one. Big powerhouses of baseball slugging it out. The stands filled with fanatical fans. Clutch hitting. Clutch pitching. Some brilliant plays on defense. I should’ve watched it. Maybe you can too.
That Thin Crescent Moon Waning
Anyone up early this morning (and yesterday) see the spectacular crescent moon (and venus)?
It’s a sight to behold. I think I’m loving it, but it won’t last long as this morning it’s so thin that tonight should be a new moon. But it was still a lovely moon over these two mornings.
My commute goes east and I spent all the drive watching the sky get brighter and the moon disappear. The color gradation was spectacular: a pink rosy horizon, that really pale blue of the morn, then the inky blue of the night sky. I don’t remember any cars on the way.
I’m blown away by how beautiful these cold mornings are. Spring is officially here, but it don’t feel that way.

…
Don’t know why.
Just got to post it.
Sometimes it’s like coffee. And other times it’s like riding a bike. Smiles in the morning. Smiles in the morning.
Quote of the Day [3.23.09]
I come to you, so silent in the night
So stealthy, so animal quiet
I’ll be your savior, steadfast and true
I’ll come to your emotional rescue
The Rolling Stones, “Emotional Rescue”

Mmm. Cute asian goodness first thing Monday mornings. It’s like coffee, but cute.
Quote of the Day [3.22.09]
“Run and hide, asshole. Run and hide. If you should be picked up next week buying a hundred-thousand dollar sports car in Newport Beach, I am going to be supremely disappointed. Because I want my people to find you, and when they do, rest assured we are not going to hand you over to the police. So my advice to you again is this: run and hide. That is all that I ask.”
Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), Ocean’s Eleven
