I also live in the path of totality, and I am very excited. Since I teach astronomy, I've given half a dozen talks this week, and get to spend most of Monday helping with our science fair out on the baseball field*. The only downside is that it is our first day of classes, so I still need to prepare for that, so I'll probably be working Sunday.

* One of the events is that the local minor league team is playing a game that will break for totality. The university has a science fair outside. As the physics and astronomy department, we're bringing out some telescopes for solar viewing, and that means having volunteers to staff them. There is also scientist 'speed dating' -- a bunch of scientists volunteer to sit at tables and people can cycle through things to them for five minutes a piece.
