Awe and doodles

I definitely did not fully express the awe and wonderfulness of seeing the comet two nights ago. It was really...words fail me. Spiffy. To see a visitor in a sector of the sky that I know well enough to be able to see when something is different. Even if I need binoculars to do it, since I sure as heck would not have been able to see it on my own, at least not without quite a while to let my eyes adjust to the darkness. Anyway, today has felt special just because I saw it. As it was, once I knew where to look and after a quarter hour of shivering, I was able to see the barely green, very small, cometical smudge unaided. But the tail wasn't visible even with my (admittedly underpowered) binoculars. Just a little glowy...yup, smudge is the right word.
    But special things are happening all the time that we never see. The world is an awe-inspiring place, in spite of those who would kill people they don't agree with rather than appreciate a sunset. 


    On a lighter note, I took a break from work and figured out what was going on with Music Maker. During one of the nearly daily updates my computer seems to undergo, a suite of CyberLink programs was installed and a gadget was placed on my desktop. After some research which took even more precious time away from all the other things I wanted to do tonight before my business partner called and requested that I put in some hours on my evening off, I found out how to disable the gadget, and now the playback marker works the way it should and I can again export...I really feel pretentious calling these compositions, but "doodles" isn't quite right, either. Now that it is nearly one in the morning, again, I really feel I should not even open Music Maker or it will suck me in and I will be oblivious losing even more hours of sleep. 

Even though this is posting as Wednesday, it's still Tuesday for me.
