The moon has been an experience this week.
On Wednesday night, when X-Chromo and I drove to religious ed, it was huge and silver and shivering wonderful. Thursday morning, when I awoke, the moon was directly across from my bedroom, in the spot where the sun usually sets.
On Thursday night (late afternoon, early evening), while driving to the Chromos' school to pick them up after drama club, the moon was enormous and perfectly round, and the sky around it was pale lavender and pale pink as the sun considered setting.
Friday morning was the best. I had to leave my house at 6:30am to be at work early. It was still dark outside, but the moon dominated the sky, no questions. All of us who arrived at work at 7am (yes! it was still dark outside, although it was getting lighter) commented on sight.
Have you ever seen the movie MOONSTRUCK with Cher and Nicholas Cage? Friday morning's moon was the same one, the one Cher's uncle (in the movie) called Cosmo's Moon.
As I drove to work, I thought about making a CD mix of moon-themed songs. Several are on my Werewolf Chronicles -- MOONDANCE (Van Morrison), BAD MOON RISING (Creedence Clearwater Revival), HARVEST MOON (Neil Young) -- and I can think of others (MOON RIVER, FLY ME TO THE MOON), but not enough to justify a whole CD.
So, I'm open to suggestions, folks. I know a lot of you read this even if you don't comment, so reply here or privately.

I've given this some thought & come up with nothing. But I'm like that, I'll listen to a song for years & have no idea what the name of it is. I'm no help...sorry.
