A Pleasant Evening.

I had a very pleasant evening with Sarah “Stickwick Stapers” and her husband last night. Dinner at The County Line, and then a little star, planet, and nebula gazing through one of the UT Austin Astronomy Dept. telescopes. Mars was a blob, but Saturn was quite beautiful. I was reminded of an art print I have, Sword of Herschel, a piece done by a Tucson artist, Kim Poor.

We then returned to the restaurant parking lot where I’d left my car and stood around talking until almost 11:00. We would have done it longer if we didn’t all need to get up early this morning.

Now I get to add Sarah to the list of “bloggers I’ve met.” And no, we didn’t discuss religion!
