I made this huge big deal out of it to my 5 1/2 year old, you know, "I wonder which planet that is, son?" and so forth. He casually looked up and said "oh, that's Venus", which of course it was. I guess I better start putting my "birds and the bees" speech together, thought I had 10-15 years for that.

John,
I told the wife about your post and mentioned how you were mellowing in your older age. I then went out to look at the planets. Well ya got me. I saw the planets, ... only all of mine had red flashing lights on them. You are the rascal Big Guy. ;-)

Went for a walk tonight with my son and the lovely one and noticed a few bright planets visible to the naked eye...thought it was unusual and went to the Nasa site and turns out it's a fairly unusual alignment of 5 planets and the moon that won't be back for 30 some odd years in the night sky.

For some reason this stuff sends me for a loop (I just recovered from that comet that blazed across the sky 6 or 7 years ago).
I'll go back to staring at my navel, now.
