The majesty of the night sky in open country has always fascinated me. A new character enters the scene: a guide? a romantic interest? Both? It just keeps getting better, J.

Thanks KC. And, yes, the night sky in a dark setting is truly magic. Do you see it out in the hinterlands?

Not lately. I've been stuck in the city. In the past, yes. Traveling in New Mexico, we spent a lot of time admiring the desert skies at night. Forty years ago, Carlsbad, NM was part of my sales assignment. I traveled there by night so I'd have more sales time the following day. I'd pull off the highway as I approached the Guadeloupe Mountains and admire El Capitan peak rising up against a backdrop of brilliant stars.

What a beautiful experience for George. I love when a piece of music brings on that frisson.

You are creating magic here, J. Curtis. ( I especially loved the part about the owl.)

Owls are magic all their own, aren’t they? Thanks Sharron!
