Because he is a big old astronomy nerd. At all times. About everything. Which is as it should be.

Meanwhile, it is snowing dreamily, big, fat, white flakes drifting aimlessly, sticking to the backs of the sheep. It feels like we’re in a fishtank, and there are bubbles falling instead of rising. This is the forecast for the next two days – twenties and thirties and snow.

If feels like last week never happened.

Can’t believe it’s snowing–it’s 80 degrees & sunny here in VA, which is..well…just weird. But pleasant!

Also, did you defend/complete your PhD?! I think I missed that while I was out of town. If so, super duper massive congrats!!

'Take care! I don't care. Don't you worry about me! I am as happy now as I have ever been, and that is saying a great deal. But the time has come. I am being swept off my feet at last,' he added, and then in a low voice, as if to himself, he sang softly in the dark:
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

He paused, silent for a moment. Then without another word he turned away from the lights and voices in the fields and tents, and followed by his three companions went round into his garden, and trotted down the long sloping path. He jumped over a low place in the hedge at the bottom, and took to the meadows, passing into the night like a rustle of wind in the grass.
