My wife wasn't keen on it either, but once it was show time, she really enjoyed it and couldn't wait to tell her friends how cool the total eclipse was! Here is my sister (far) and wife with their special glasses on watching the event.

Nice!
Thanks very much!
As an aside I’ve been fortunate to see three total solar eclipses (2 USA, 1 in Germany). I asked my neighbor, an astrophysicist who actually went up on the Challenger before the ‘BOOM’ if he was going to se it he said yes, told me where (I can’t remember...) and that it was his 12th.
I look forward to the next opportunity to see the next one.
Best!
