   It is an absolutely gorgeous evening. It's going to rain, which makes the moments even brighter. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/1e394e6c3db034eea0f038f1a7eca647e015b6d03ec75112714c86b5480dbf51/view

   ... and, of course, "The Armed Man: Benedictus" is streaming on WQXR as I am reading this biography. Perfect. And heartbreaking. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/73da4af53511015a0e2c7832b0bd9023a951151990b0a19466d2794191909417/view

   I was pretty tired afterward, but I wanted to make sure I did a BIG shout out to the RASC Sudbury Centre for hosting me at their Friday monthly meeting. I tried to share some of the wonder of the cosmos by focusing on astronomy without light. What made the evening particularly special were the many and excellent questions from the participants! https:// http://status.hack…

   It was a marvelous day in Sudbury. We had a high of 27.2C (81F)! I went for my first outdoor run since last October (technically I did.a short run in Connecticut, but not being in Ontario … that didn’t count). Otherwise, caught up on chores around the house.

    It was amazing outside today here in Sudbury. After I got home from SNOLAB, I took a walk in the neighborhood. It was shorts-and-tee-shirt weather … and there were still piles of snow on the ground. It was a stunning combo. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/07166d0df3feb32ec24d4d2a85b64edab7271088729a75479132eaab2fed3831/view

    Spring has sprung in Sudbury! It’s 21C right now and absolutely gorgeous outside. Of course, warm air means lots of melting snow … and there were lots of snowbanks to melt. But the heat is making short work of what is left, and I am excited to see the seasons shift yet again. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/6f3121840a3c638280015da0f2dbd8abcde2909bc7b874a106885b9dfa006406/view
