Said it would be neat to see this one (at 2:41 am), but that we would probably be sound asleep and miss it.
The wife went to bed early (about 10 pm) and I stayed up to watch a pretty bad football game.
I set my phone alarm for 2:30 am thinking MAYBE I would drag myself and her out of bed to see the eclipse. About 2:15, I get shook awake by my wife. She says the eclipse is happening and to get dressed and come see it.
Sweet!!!
I get up and she has two chairs set up outside, with pillows on them to keep our a$$es warm, and two blankets to cover up with. Gloves and scarves are by the door. And; two cups of hot chocolate sitting on the counter.
We grab the binoculars, and out we go.
My phone alarm goes off at 2:30, and I tell her I had the same idea, just no where's near as elaborate. She still thinks it was romantic, and we watch an amazing eclipse.
How was your night? I think I got me a keeper.
