Day 17: Taking Astronomy


I don't have a yard, so I must walk my dog multiple times a day.  This means I'm out at least once before dawn and again at least once after sunset.

Although she is wonderful company, on those clear nights, I'm also accompanied by many celestial cohorts as well.

As I dangerously and haphazardly cross streets with my face turned skyward, I try to remember everything I know about these starts that billions of people throughout time have also used to guide their lives.  I start naming the starts and shapes that I know.

In college, I signed up for a class that I thought would be an easy A.  Astronomy.  Although I ended up with a solid B at the end of the semester, I'm so glad I took it.  Although it hasn't helped me to be that much more well versed in intellectual conversation, it helps me enjoy my daily walks.  And it also lets me understand Big Bang Theory just a little more.
