Brandon's Buzz

Mandy Moore — “The Whole of the Moon” (from Coverage) —

For much of the summer, I’ve been working on a special tribute project for Brandon’s Buzz Radio — watch this space soon for further news on that front — and it has turned into a soul-sucking endeavor that has seemed to monopolize my every waking second for the past few weeks. Luckily, it’s a slow day at work today, so I can spend a few moments tending to my poor, neglected baby here. I snapped the photographs below on my iPhone a couple of Friday nights ago while waiting (rather impatiently) for my two dogs — particularly Miss Kelly, whose occasional crotchety tendencies have led A to refer to her, affectionately, as “The Diva” — to take care of their business before bedtime. In reality, it was so bright and clear that I swear I could make out individual craters with my naked eye, but in case you can’t tell from the sadly hazy pictures, that glowing blob in the center of the frame, shining without flaw through the tree limbs, is the moon.
