I have tried to post a comment here a few times. Testing, testing…is it working?
I see it is…
My point, lost in cyberspace was…Mark works at the Rochester Planetarium and I have been able to really get involved with the stars since then! Went to the Spring Skies show and LOVED it! (Learned about Andromeda!) I was like a little kid when I looked in the huge telescope at the sky and actually SAW the rings of Saturn!!!
A nice time…and you can get Dim Sum while you are there!
There’s a wonderful planetarium at the Ontario Science Centre. Their space exhibits were being renovated last time I was there, but it’s a great place.
And where’s that Dim Sum place again? I know you told me once before, but you know my ability to remember stuff like that!
