Inspiring post. I have been ultra busy lately with work and having my oldest daughter for a little more than a month.

I have access to our club's 16 inch Dob and have tried to get my daughter out there, but mother nature has not co-operated at all. Hopefully soon the skies will clear up for us before 0300-0400 and we can spend some time together gazing.

Some of my fondest memories involve her and I going for "store runs" that deterred us 20 miles from the Phoenix suburb we lived in. We would go out into the desert, I would open the moon roof and set her on the opening's edge while I poked my head through and we would look at the stars and moon together for 10-15 minutes, sometimes talking, sometimes just looking. My Ex never could understand why we liked going to the store at night or appreciate the moments. *shrug*

Well work beckons, great post again, it's doubled my resolve to get her out before she goes back to AZ.
