Not “annual”. Annular. Though we get both words from the Latin, annual means yearly, annular means in the form of a ring. 

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon moves between the Earth and Sun blocking out the Sun for a brief period of time. As a side note, solar eclipses can only occur during a “new” moon. Which makes sense since the side facing us can't be getting any sunlight. 

Script Frenzy 2012

In April I took part in the annual Script Frenzy. That is a challenge to write 100 pages of scripted materials during the month of April.  Well, I did it. 103 pages total in two scripts. One a 10-minute play called NIMBY and the second a screenplay for a B-movie. So I "won" my challenge and can display the fact with the logo below.

Now if I can only find someone to buy the script.

I have written poetry for many years. I have at least one that I wrote back in 1978. A fairly sappy thing called “The Unicorn”. At some point I'm going to have to bring myself to share it with people again.
