an astoundment of astronomers (Markham)

Sneaky dogs.

Thought I was headed to Lora & Phil's to help them out with repairs and computers. They sprung a surprise birthday bash on me. With Millie, Dietmar, Elaine, Tony, Elaine, Katrina, Grace, Tony. And Skeena of course. Very sneaky on Elaine and Tony's part: not a peep the night before... Charles wanted to be there.

Turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. We hung out on the deck. Viewed the Sun in Phil's PST. Tony and I argued about the Moon phase. I got my wires crossed; he was right, of course.


Good eats. Great desserts. Lots o' beer.

Katrina gave me some nice Glencairn glasses from the 2013 GA. Ha!

And I received a can opener! So next year's Starfest I'll be well-equipped. Or can assist Katrina, if needed.

Fun day.

Sharmin sent a note. Was sorry that she couldn't make it. Told her I missed her.
