On Monday, I spent 20 minute staring straight at the sun.

Before anyone freaks out, there was actually a lot of cloud cover so my eyes were protected.  I mean, I don’t think my eyesight has gotten any noticeably worse over the last few days.  The important thing is that I got to watch the solar eclipse.  It was a beautiful moment, standing in my backyard as the afternoon suddenly went dark.  A few minutes later, I experienced the world lighting back up.  I’m glad I was able to witness it.

As I spend this Holy Week with my sisters, I shall be keeping Kate Middleton in my thoughts.

I’ve seen a lot of social media posts over the past few days that all, more or less, say that, “We should all feel ashamed for spreading rumors about William and Kate.”  While I agree that there are a lot of people who should be ashamed, I don’t really appreciate this “we” business.  I didn’t make a single joke, post a single rumor, or otherwise join in the online harassment of Kate and William.  The same is true of most of the people that I know.  Most people are better than that.  If anyone should feel ashamed, it’s the members of the media who spread rumors and innuendo for clicks and attention.  Don’t let them get away with pretending everyone else was in on it with them.
