DOING THE MOON WALK


Another step in our mayor's plan to make Wimberley "the fittest little town in Texas" has been to organize various activities that encourage Wimberleyites to get out and do something fun together.  One of these activities is the monthly moon walk.  Every time there is a full moon, a bunch of people (including the mayor himself) meet up in the town square, then take a brisk little two and a quarter mile walk together, just as the moon is coming up over the horizon.


Since this month was to be the first time in twenty years that the moon would be at its closest point to earth, and since seeing it just as it was coming up was the very best time to view it in all its hugeness, we decided to join them.  What did we see?  Clouds.  Nothing but clouds...until, right as I was climbing into bed that night, I glanced out the window, and noticed that the yard was all lit up.  I thought John must have left the porch light on, so I went to check...
