My astronomer-pal Steve tells me that viewing the eclipse in Toronto will be underwhelming, even at 99.8% coverage, but we choose to stay home. Because we like to stay home. Instead, we will find a quiet place to witness odd shadows and the weirdness of discombobulated animals, and watch the sun disappear over us. Will it be total twilight? No. Is missing the Big Event just another step in the slow march of my B+ life? Possibly. Will we be happy to just listen to the birds and frogs, rather than marinate on the QEW with the others? You betcha.

Enjoy the eclipse and hoping for clear skies.
