It was a busy day, what with the business of all of the myriad tasks now necessary to keep me alive and healing. There are appointments to set up, symptoms to check out and report, routine workouts to plan and execute, and, alas, all too often, the requirement to stop all activity and give in to sleep. The latter is a drag, but there's simply nothing I can do to stave off periodic nap time. If I'm persistent, I can accomplish a decent day's work, but it's annoying, in that there's scant opportunity to just go out and be observant. However, not long after dark, I did take advantage of a break and, after determining that my tripod and 50mm lens and camera combination were under my 10 pound weight restriction limit, I hauled the assemblage to my neighbor's meadow. Under perfectly clear and moonless skies, I focused on the southern horizon, where bright Jupiter, to the right above the trees, and Saturn, at about 10 o'clock of Jupiter, are drawing closer and closer. It's a beautiful sight, and as they approach a near conjunction in about a month, I'll document their progress towards a celestial get-together.
