A Long Day

Today seemed like a long day. I did some freelance interviewing, editing, writing; went on a short, muddy hike, and Skyped my friends back in Connecticut. I also finished Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, a book that I enjoyed more than I initially thought I would. In the book, the Earth is encased in a huge membrane that preserves it from the sun's death and suspends it in time while the rest of the universe ages. Mostly it's about how people act when confronted with something that they don't understand. I highly recommend it.

Here's a picture of our sunset today, not as gaudy as the end-of-the-world, our-sun-is-a-Red-Giant sunsets in Spin, but still pretty good:
