“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”  ~ Mark Twain

I was feeling pretty good about capturing last night’s “supermoon.”

Then, Mr. I’m-A-Very-Smart-Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson had to go and spoil it.

Thanks for bumming out my moon photos.

So here.

Not-So-Supermoon-afterall.

And, here’s a cow with the Not-So-Supermoon.

Here are lots of cows stampeding past the Not-So-Supermoon, becoming Ghost Cows in the process.

Not-So-Supermoon, feelings hurt by the rudeness of Astrophysicist, packs it in and heads for the clouds.

We spent Sunday’s pre-Supermoon daylight hours in Baltimore at the Orioles-Cardinals game (three-hour drive – each way – for those of you who wonder just how dedicated I am to baseball).

Here’s Super-Pitcher, But Not-Quite-So-Super-Today Kevin Gausman.

Here’s Rookie Catcher Caleb Joseph. He homered in each of his last five games, a club record for catchers.

Today?

Not-so-super.  And, no home run.

Here’s Ever-Reliable Super Right Fielder Nick Markakis.

Still super.

Although 4-for-5 at the plate, he scored only twice, once thanks to a wild pitch. Thanks for nothing, rest of team.

Not a Super Day for the Orioles. They lose 8-3.

But, I saw baseball. And, a moon.

And, the Orioles are still in first.

Super enough for me.
