How was your day?
If you’ve had far better (like me), I have a two-word explanation:
Mini Moon
It’s a full moon, but the Earth is at its farthest distance away, making tonight’s full moon appear its very smallest in the night sky. But that doesn’t lessen its impact…at least in my case.
I had a bad headache most of the day. My dog seemed to feel a bit punky, too. And I was running from appointment to appointment all day…so I am wiped.
Seems logical to blame the moon, right?
See you on the flip slide.

Enough about sharks. Let’s hear it for the ‘little people’ —
Phytoplankton
They also live in the oceans and bodies of water, but they’re microscopic. Yet they are responsible for the production of most of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Can sharks do that? No.
(And I doubt they would if they could.)
So, Discovery Channel, how about a week devoted to this teeny tiny miracle of nature? Phytoplankton concentrations have been decreasing each year since 1950 —
Let’s show ’em a little love.

I finished my Christmas shopping this morning. Bought the final gift online, picked a shipping date and sent it on its merry way.
It’s a great feeling.
But wouldn’t you know it? As soon as I crossed everyone’s name off my list, I discovered the perfect present for any hard-to-buy-for person. It’s another exciting Google search find:
Lunar Land
That’s right. You or someone you love can join the over 5,000,000 people from 176 countries who own personal property on Earth’s sexiest satellite.
According to the website, Lunar Embassy is the only company to possess the ‘legal basis and copyright’ for Lunar Land. It is available in a variety of packages, all which include one lunar acre of land. (The amount of documentation included drives the price.)
Our family draws names at Christmas, and as soon as the pairings are announced, the emails start flying, requesting gift ideas.
If only I had discovered Lunar Land even an hour sooner!

Have you heard?
An aircraft carrier-sized asteroid is coming within 200,000 miles of Earth next week. That’s closer than the moon. But not close enough to hit us or change the tides or make our skin hang funny.
Or so they say.
Is this really an asteroid? Or is that story merely a cover? Could we be in danger of attack by an alien life form?
It’s happened before. On film.
If you know anything about Star Trek — and I do — that chunk of rock bears a striking resemble to the probe sent to Earth in 1986 to communicate with humpback whales in…
Anyone?
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
That is correct.
Perhaps this asteroid that scientists are so ready to dismiss is really an example of life imitating art.
Well…it could happen. (If you hear whale song, make a run for it!)

By the book
Remember the relationship manual Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus?
Yeah, I didn’t read it either.
But I did read today that Venus is 24 million miles from Earth, the closest planet in our solar system.
In comparison, Mars is 34 million miles away.
Based on this fact alone, I surmise that women are infinitely more knowable.
So, there.
