Wish I had, George! I had my calendar marked for both nights, and both got 
clouded out... Not just all-day, all-night cloudiness, but that niggling, 
annoying, clear-as-a-bell-at-sunset-and-then-slow-creaping-cirrus kind of 
cloudiness that we are so famous for here in New England! x^*

Not to mention that the mugginess kept making me slip out of my lawnchair. :(

Sorry! Maybe next year...
