So far no joy.

I would bet that you've never seen a total eclipse.
If I had a dollar for every person who has said to me in the past 6 months "I've already seen one, it wasn't that special, why bother with this one", I'd have enough to pay off my trip.
Were you in Montana in 1979? Baja Mexico in 1991? Atlantic coastal city in 1970? Far Northern Canada in in 1963 or 1972? Venezuela in 1998? Central Europe in 1999?
If not, you haven't seen a total eclipse, which is why you don't think it's a big deal.
If you were not in one of these stripes, on that data, at that time, you have not seen a total solar eclipse, and you might not think it's a big deal.
