    I know the date’s more than three years way. But big events deserve preplanning and the first total solar eclipse for many of us is a milestone event.

    Lots of people will be hosting eclipse parties but I wanted to be first. I’m planning on having one heck of an event. Consider it an extra-early invitation.
