Solar Eclipse!

Partial Solar Eclipse coming this Monday!

The last major partial solar eclipse in NJ was on May 10, 1994*. About 84% of the sun was eclipsed.

I took the boys out of school and we went to the American Museum of Natural History / Hayden Planetarium in Manhattan.

We were interviewed by Fox national news. (Busted!)

About this Blog

Updated 2020

The Parentals retired in February 2019 and got a small RV that August. All the Childrentals are self supporting (thanks to Physics, Data Analysis, LoudBicycle, and Mechanical Engineering), including Lumpy, whose 1st job did indeed fall from heaven. Now there are even GrandChildrentalUnits although they do not have their own blog yet.

KeepingUpWithTheParentalUnits blog was started in 2008 so the Childrental Units* could find out what the Parental Units have been doing, the same way the Parental Units keep up with the Childrental Units* by reading their blog.

Also, to post silly sign pictures.

* 'Childrental' as in Children-tal not Child-rental. (We are not attempting to rent out our children, although Lumpy might consider a summer job (so long as he wouldn't have to work too hard) if one were to fall from heaven onto his lap, and finals were over.
