I know I’m late on this post, but it was started late on Wednesday the 20th —
What nasty weather today! I went to all the trouble of traversing the city in the snow and rain to attend a very interesting lecture:
Poverty and Inequality in the Global Economy Series: What is Global Inequality and Why it Matters
Unfortunately, the speaker was unable to attend. They expect to re-schedule it, and when
that happens, I’ll report on how the Lead Economist for the World Bank’s Research Department perceives Global Inequality.
In other primarily uninteresting news, I’m growing a beard. I can’t really decide if I like it or not, but it’s a good thing to do in the winter, I suppose. What do you think?
Finally, I was lucky enough to be notified at the last minute (thanks, Melanie) that there was a lunar eclipse tonight - fabulous. Amazing how magical the simple spinning of the planets and their satellites is.
I captured this picture of it - not great, but I didn’t break out the tripod, so I thought it came out O-K! I love the fact that you can see the different shape of the earth’s shadow crossing the moon. As it passed into complete coverage, the moon went all red and as it began to reappear, there was a thin sliver of white on the other-wise red moon that my camera simply would not even attempt to capture. The wonderful part about this was that at that point in the process, the sliver was at the bottom of the moon - beautiful. Sorry I don’t have the technology to have captured my own stills of it.
Hope all is well with each of you,
Wayne
