2003: Building Bridges
A more serious journey:
we join a group of
American theologians and ministers to encounter Islam in
Jordan, Syria, and Egypt, where we
meet with prominent figures in
religion, government, and academia.

|
|
|
Who are we and what else do we do?
|
|
How we became eclipse junkies:
Barbara went to India in the mid-seventies, which led to
our fascination with football, which in turn led to our
addiction to solar eclipses.
The connection isn't obvious? Then let me
explain.

Barbara is a writing coach, check out her website at

|
|

Bill is Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the vast Eclipsoid Industries cartel.
His past work history is
here.

|
|
Bill is a drummer,
and played professionally through the '70s.
He currently plays with

Barbara's father, the legendary pioneer television producer
Fenton McHugh, is auther of the memoir
First Cast.

Every Sunday they sit with the
Marin Sangha.

1994: Lost on the Altiplano
We went to the Bolivian Altiplano,
one of the loneliest places in the world, to see an eclipse.
Our group got lost, and then...
