In my last email I explained that I had signed up for courses this fall at North Island College. (well not really courses because there are not tests or marks)
One of the most popular is a series of lectures/presentations that take place on Saturday mornings from now until Christmas. This morning Pat and I attended a presentation by Bob MacDonald the host of CBC Quirks and Quarks. He is a science geek with just a wonderful presentation style.
His presentation today was about the Canadians that have walked in space but he included details on the latest Rosetta landing on a comet. Beautiful pictures from space but also pictures from his access to the astronaut training facility. What a great time.
Standing ovation at the end of his talk. I would have paid $40 just for this presentation alone and I have 7 more to go.
