Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I used to be the night sky guru for my nephews (6 of 'em!) - I just couldn't resist showing them the stars and talking endlessly about the wondrous stuff "up there." But they're all grown up now. Thankfully, finally, Those nephews have 4 kids between them now and I'm looking forward to sparking their interests in the sights of the night whenever I can. I just really love showing little kids around the night sky.
