Eclipsed

I knew that there was going to be a solar eclipse today.  I set a reminder on my phone so that I wouldn't forget.  When the alarm went off, I headed to the back deck and grabbed a seat.  The event would be happening in 15 minutes and I was ready.

Three hours later I woke up, and much to my disappointment, I had missed the entire thing.  Looking on the bright side, I had a fantastic afternoon nap.  Well, I guess there is always next time...which just happens to be February 6, 2027.  I've already marked it on my calendar and set the reminder.  Maybe I'll have better luck then.
