Tonight I saw a beautiful full moon floating in a perfectly clear sea of black sky. I wish I could have just sat out and contemplated it for a while. I tried to do it some while driving, but getting lost in thought while looking up at the moon while driving isn’t conducive to safety. [...]
Someone wrote a book by that title a few years back, but I was bowling alone tonight.
