Yes folks, the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival has started. Here’s the first act at the free stage – Oral Fuentes. Remember: the Toon Town Big Band takes this very stage on Saturday June 30th at 1pm. It should be a great show…just like this one! By the way, this is my first post ever from my […]
I’m an app!
….I think. I’m trying to connect my website with my Facebook account so I can have a true online presence. It would also be easier to update my friends on my blog posts if Facebook automatically posted update. But of course, I’m pretty new to all of this so I’m not 100% sure if it’s […]
Transit of Venus
Now that I have this site fixed and can post pictures again, I can finally blog about the transit of Venus. First, the facts. On June 5, 2012, the planet Venus passed across the Sun during daylight hours. The last time this happened was in 2004 but unfortunately, It won’t occur again for 105 years. […]
Get your mitts off my uterus!
A few months ago, I came across a campaign in the US where women who are upset with politicians passing laws that take away the human rights of women were urged to knit or a crochet a uterus and send it to one of these awful ‘politicians’. The idea being that if your congressman (or […]

May 20th, 2012 Annular Eclipse
Yesterday evening, I had the opportunity to observe the annular eclipse. Unfortunately, from Saskatoon, this eclipse was only going to be a partial eclipse as we were not located in the path of the eclipse but a partial eclipse is still a very impressive sight! I could have set up with the rest of the […]

Another attempt at astrophotography
Photography is something I’ve always been interested in and I’ve enjoyed taking pictures artistically on and off for years. I admit that I get a little frustrated and disappointed when confronted with the pretentiousness of the art not to mention equipment irritations but inevitably, I always come back to it because it’s fun. It’s a […]
