I arranged for the sun to disappear!

This year, my 60th birthday coincided with the total solar eclipse on April 8th.  Wendy decided that it would make a good human interest story (I wasn't expected to reach my 56th birthday). She contacted the CBC, and they were quite interested. This is the story they wrote (if you have a read it yet):

As for the birthday, we had an all day long drop in/pot luck party!  

Here are some photos from a shared album (taken by various friends and family in attendance)::

Adam took the best photo of totality (below).

It was a fantastic and most memorable  birthday ever! 

All the stars align!

In advance of the eclipse and my 60th birthday, CBC did a news piece as a human interest story.
