Dilatory Comets and Comings
Many people like to blog daily. Most blog weekly. And a few monthly. Just in case you thought I had died, I am announcing to the world, that I blog at least annually. That's not too bad if one looks at life from an astronomical time frameLeap years are known have been known to blog only once every four years. U.S. presidents have a similar sentiment.
Solar eclipses, brilliant and spectacular, blog only twice per year. However you have to be at the right place and the right time to actually view them! I've only seen two posts, living in the old city of York. Once in 1970, the other in the summer of 1999
Other astronomical events can be much more delayed. I went out one night with my two sons to watch the passing of a (totally unspectacular) show of light from Halley's comet. That was in 1986. By the time it comes again, my grand-daughter, Camille, born in late 2005 will be 56!
Of course, some events take millenia to reoccur. When the "fullness of time" came, the author of all the astronomical matter and the ultimate time keeper, came to planet earth... to be person. To take on a form not unlike little Camille. Totally spectacular!!!
Here we are, reading text in an electronic age, so far removed from this event in both time and space. Many who have awaited the return of the King, have died in their expectation. Multitudes have ridiculed the fact of this prediction.
Are you prepared for an event far more splendiferous than is imaginable?
Be ready.

Voila something here this week. Just before Spring.
Good thoughts.
And voila something from yesterday before spring burst into Canada.
Good thoughts.
Nice to meet you!
so I work here part time at Forest Hill Chaplaincy and I come in this morning and Ken, a chaplain who works here, said he's getting some interesting connections, and he had a meeting last Friday with a commputer-math head (or something), he had a title for you, at Uof T... and he looks up in his little notebook, Russ Sutherland, he says, do you know him?...Russ Sutherland!?...so you can imagine...He said a something Graham put him in touch with you...
so this is your Blog...I had gotten the impression that Engineer types considered Blogs kind of egocentric...I think they are fun...our Sarah, being an English major, loves to keep up with them...
Sim has finished 3rd yr and is working with an Airo-Space Prof for the summer at Queens...which should prove interesting...
I'm seeing here you have a grandaughter!..oh my goodness... congradulations!
do you know a Ted Davison who is a Prof there at UofT?...he teaches some techy stuff...you know me, I don't pretend to know about that stuff...we are in his small group...
we went to a Bendale reunion on Sat, so we are re-connecting a lot lately...
