Winter has returned this Spring.

Although we shall only reach 46 degrees today, there will be a steady climb to 74 degrees on Monday when the world is enraptured by the solar eclipse.

I can remember some eclipses when I was a child, and experiencing them with my Grandma Donna; however, this impending solar eclipse, which has reached a feverish pitch, escapes my interest. I am unsure why I am not researching the event and ramping up the enthusiasm. A friend gifted Mama Kay and me appropriate eyewear for the event, but I have not fully committed to participating.

I have read about how this cosmic shift might affect pets, and I am sensing something with my pooches who each seem a bit off. Of course, it is difficult to tell with the agitated three older dogs with Colonel Deeds wanting to play with them all the time.

I have two Dayton Live events this weekend which feature the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performing Nielsen, Holst, and Mozart in a concert entitled, “Total Eclipse: The Sun and The Planets.” Eclipse… go figure…

It’s time to dig into the day before it is time to escape to Schuster Center. With the short week hiatus of no Dayton Live events, I am eager to see my fellow house managers.

Make it a great day!
