I know, I'm a nerd, but I think John and I are going to bring out the telescope, I think Vicki and Joe's house might be a great place to see some meteors. There is a hunge meteor shower going on at that time, the Geminids. I hope it's not cloudy! We should also get a good view of Jupiter and maybe Mars.
