Biggest Moon

Today's moon is not only full, it's also the closest it's been to the earth since 1993, making it appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than at other times this year.

A group of runners from my gym went on a "full moon run" last night. I didn't go, but it sounded pretty cool.

Nice photo...I thought is looked rather large the other night.

That's a relief. The moon's light has been so bright that I thought I was mysteriously becoming more sensitive to it and maybe that meant I was turning into a werewolf or something. But now I have to come up with a different explanation as to why I'm now growing hair out my ears.

They say the next time it will be this close will be in 2016. It was awesome looking.
