Against all odds, I managed to actually view the eclipse.
( picture of me attempting to capture the eclipse but in actuality taking a rare and unintentional selfie of me looking at the eclipse. )
So much for that photography career I'd planned.
FM had an extra-pair of glasses. So, I helped her see it in the conference room - then bored of contorting ourselves, we decided to go downstairs and watch it from the sidewalk outside of our building, with a gaggle of tourists, bus passengers, homeless people, and co-workers.
We didn't see the total eclipse from NYC, just about 97% of one. So it went down to a partial sliver on one side. Got cold, but not dark. Not really. And it was overcast at various points, so every once and a while the sun would appear to disappear, but it actually hadn't.
Around 3:30pm, even though you could still see it - we got bored and went inside.
