Yes we are going for the eclipse! Crossing my fingers it isn’t cloudy, that would be a bummer. But thankfully I’ve already seen one eclipse so I’d be ok. No plans to have fermented shark or testicles or whatever. Bleh.

We have a cruise that we booked two years ago. I did a bunch of research and it's actually a good way to do eclipse since they can reposition the ship around weather much of the time.

Oh, I saw that cruise advertised last year, or one of them! Somehow it totally dropped off my radar but I’m so excited for you all who are going.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, yeah, cruise should be good! I've heard they can even stay within totality a little longer if conditions permit. Hopefully you will have clear skies, meara, although the very cloudy eclipse in the Faroes was still a very cool experience. I have no reason for thinking this, but I feel like August should be better weather than March.

From what I recall of the last eclipse the social aspect and camaraderie of the event was an important part of the experience.

Yeah I bet cruise is good and I’ve heard Spain is a better bet for clear skies but ah well.

In random Fort Lauderdale news, this is apparently a record-breaking turtle nesting season. When I went over to the beach last night, I noticed bunches of cordoned off nests, so I checked this morning and found that they have roped off over 400 nests as of last week. Just from the spot I had planted myself I could see probably a dozen. Yay Turtles!
My snorkeling friends have posted quite a few turtle pictures lately, so they must be enjoying conditions right now.

Did The Lost Boys win anything? I know they were nominated for a bunch of Tonys.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Supporting Actor and Actress, I believe. Don't know about the non-acting awards.
