Just Another Reason Why I Love A Full Moon...

I've been lying quietly in my crib for quite a while now. My little peepers are gazing out the window because I'm waiting for the lunar eclipse. Why? Well because...

1.     There has to be a full moon. (I love looking at full moons)

2.     The moon has to pass through some part of the earths shadow. (Quite interesting, don't you think?)

3.      The moon could turn orange or even a purple color tonight! (I'm all about bright colors, so what's not to love about that?)

I'm not going to sleep until I see some action. Come-on Mr. Moon, I'm waiting....

I'm impressed you woke up this early to see the eclipse. You'll have to tell me all about it on Sunday. I unfortunately did not wake up to see it. AuntieLeash loves her sleep and if she doesn't have to work an overnight, you can bet your bottom she is sleeping.

But that look you have going on in the above picture is very Myspace-esque. The eyes looking up and to the right. Very trendy, Owen.

[Owen K Says ToAuntie Lee]

Auntie: When I come to your house this Sunday I will bring my "Charlie Brown Encyclopedia Of Astronomy." It's great reading and I'd be glad to read it to YOU :)

Also, do you think I can be your partner in that washer game Sunday? I was to busy to play last week.

C-ya Godmother!

[Charlie Brown]

Mr. Bentley, I'm glad you like my Encyclopedia Of Astronomy. Have you ever seen any of my made for TV movies? They're good, too.

[Owen K. Says To Charlie Brown:]

Chuck: Yes, I've seen your movies. I love the Charlie Brown Christmas movie the best. Where did you get that Christmas tree anyway? Bullard Park or my Uncle's back yard? Just curious.

[Mommy]

I don't mind that you were up watching the eclipse...I really don't. I just wish you would have kept it down! Daddy and I were trying to sleep and all we kept hearing was the telescope banging around and you're oooh's and ahhhh's! You know, if all you were waiting for was a moon--daddy could have taken care of that. He has been known to shoot a moon or two!

[Owen K Says To Mommy:]

Mommy: I'm sorry about the noise, I really am. You may want to talk to Lucy though, she was the one who kicked the telescope over. She also chewed up Grandfathers high powered binoculars. Not good, Mommy. Not good at all.

As for the moon. You mean my Daddy shoots at the moon? With what Mommy? Enlighten me, please :)

[G-Ma]

Owen, Don't worry about the binoculars, I mean it's not as if Grandfather H. used them for hunting or anything.

[Owen K Says To G-Ma]

G-Ma: I wasn't really worried about the binoculars. I intend to ask Godfather to replace them for me.

[The Grandfather H]

Owen, I'm not upset over the binoculars, or the broken telescope (grrr) for that matter.

However, tell your mother I'll be over later with a bar of soap. I think her idea of a full moon and our idea is quite different. Don't worry though, a bar of soap will do the trick :)

[Owen K Says To The Grandfather H:]

Grandfather H: Are you going to wash the telescope or something Grandfather?

Why are you bringing over a bar of soap because Mommy mentioned Daddy shoots moons? I don't get it.

[Mommy]

Is the soap because the "moon" that daddy shoots needs to be washed? Or is it because my mouth needs to be washed. I'm confused :)

[Owen K Says To Mommy:]

Mommy: Grandfather said the soap was for your mouth. He said if the bar soap doesn't work he's getting out the Tide with Bleach. Yup. That's what Grandfather said Mommy.

Owen K.

You might know me as a very well known astronomer, and physicist. In 1609, I built the very first telescope. That same year, I built one twenty times stronger.

It seems as though telescopes are still not strong enough for you and your dog, Lucy.

We should hang out, drink some tea, and build the strongest telescope in the world. What do you say, old chap?

[The Godfather]

Owen, I'm glad to see that your interest in the stars, planets, and Earths natural satellites is so astronomical. You are very very talented, and you have a lot of willpower to stay up so late.

You are a true prodigy.

[Owen K Says To Galileo Galilei:]

Dear Mr. Galileo Galilei: Since I'm all about research, I recently learned that your titles include: the "father of modern observational astronomy",the "father of modern physics",and the "father of science". Color me impressed for sure!

Quick favor, Gal? How about you just build me a heavy duty telescope so I don't have to ask Godfather to replace the one I broke? In exchange, I'll teach you how to have some real fun....

We can sky-dive, drive race cars play video games, sing the blues, sell lemonade, and more. Owen K. knows how to have a good time!

[Owen K Says To The Godfather:]

Godfather: You wrote the book on staying up late. At least that's what I've been hearing lately. Something about you being a "night-owl"

I do like the moon, stars, and even the lake. Probably because I have such a good view of them from your room. I like your room -it should be mine. Well, it will be in 4 years, you know. Thanks in advance :)
