    My physical to-do list (separate from todo.txt on the laptop) is now 2 large Post-Its stuck together, holding an index card behind them, which can all be moved from page to page in my weekly planner. This is a grown-up thing, right?

    Looking at this week's gorgeous Moon/Venus conjunction - I shot pictures of the October 1984 one from my apt in Tucson. Sent the 35mm slide away for a nice enlargement, Moon came back solo. The lab thought Venus was a flaw and retouched it out. 2nd time was a charm.
