TheBanyanTree: thoughts on a really good run

[Teague, Julie Anna]

Thanks, Tom and everyone.  I really need to start writing again.  I've 
been in something of a slump that seems to be lingering for...years.  I 
did see Jupiter and Venus but did not know about Aldeberon, which I 
shall now google.  This morning's run was under a full mooooooon.  
Tomorrow at 6am, I will be looking at the stars from out on the lake, 
rowing with a crew.
