No live chat today

Sorry folks, I can’t do a live video chat today. I’ll be heading over to the Ontario Science Center with the group from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada instead. I’ll be out basically until tonight, so I won’t be putting up any more posts today either. I’ll e up and running again tomorrow… with my Big News. :-) Stay tuned.

    Alright, alright! The suspense is too much. At this point, all I can say is it had better involve cake, or I’m outta here!

    Let’s all start posting guesses as to BA’s Big News!

    My guess: He’s found an advertiser to sponsor his blog.

    Oh c’mon folks, you know I wouldn’t hold back from my own mom! :-)

    She already knows the news, but hasn’t realized that what she knows about is what I’m announcing on Monday.

    And Mom, no cheating. Don’t tell anyone. ;)

    Hope you liked the OSC, but I’ll give you a little tourist tip, Science North up in Sudbury is where it’s at.

    And this from someone who doesn’t live in Ontario…

    @BAMom
    Little do you know that you already know what the rest of us don’t know. So if you know what we don’t know what would it take to get you to put us all in the know and let us know what you know so that we all know what it is you know. Then everyone would know whatever there is to know. Or is it on a need to know basis? :)

    Well now I’m thinking it can’t be anything too exciting or BAMom would have told me! Unless BA swore her to secrecy from the rest of the family! So it’s Monday now. Wake up Phil and get online!
