Hi Pat.

You mentioned a "waning gibbous,"I've been wondering what the definition of
a gibbous was.  I looked it up on dictionary.com once and all it said was
that it had something to do with the moon.  I don't remember the exact
wording.  Anyway, that doesn't tell me anything.  I know what crescent
shaped is, so I know what they mean when they talk about a crescent moon.
Maybe you or someone else could shed a little moonlight on this subject.  Hi
hi.  Take care.

Jim,
You know the reason it worked; waning gibbous, which I think is a 
partially empty moon!!
Nice to win one, isn't it.
