The chaos at work was well-managed and I managed to take several trips outdoors during the eclipse, including all of totality.
The reports are right: it's difficult to describe. It's moving. Well ahead of totality, the light takes on otherworldly feeling and the sky darkens. Even at totality, with a couple of planets visible, our sky remained a deep blue, with the shadowed side of the Moon the only true black, the wispy solar corona slowly waving around it.
I'm happy I was able to see it.

I was working as a communications volunteer at the County EOC. We were able to take a break a couple of minutes before and after totality to go outside.
Neat.
The thing that I noticed but was not expecting was how the sky on the horizon all around was as still light, showing blue sky. A opposed to one direction dark and the other light of a sunrise/sunset.
(Fortunately, we did not experience the gridlock and attendant issues other place experienced in previous eclipses. Prior planning? Luck? A combination? Dunno, just glad it was slow day at the EOC)
