- The were all quite sweaty in the Dominican Republic.

Bachelor 2025:
Episode Two saw Bachelor Grant and Alexe from NB go on a date. There was chemistry you guys.
Here is a stream-of-consciousness brief recap from the Bachelor containing spoilers...
- Alexe has the first one-on-one, since she got the first impression rose last week... they go on a picnic... but first, a bunch of the ladies play basketball and Zoe emerges as a villain...
- more on Zoe, the villain for this season... "While Grant is away, the other women confront Zoe about stealing Grant away during the slam dunk competition, but it doesn’t seem like Zoe regrets her decision at all, even though the other women felt disrespected by it."
- Alexe’s one-on-one date is the next. She and Grant went shopping in Los Angeles and did a bunch of date/ montage things... ice cream/ ping pong/banter... then a romantic candlelit dinner. During their picnic, they start to talk about their upbringing and their families. Zero people are surprised when Grant offers her a rose at the end of the night and she accepts it.
- SPOILERS! Going home last night were Rebekah, Ella, Allyshia and Vicky.
BTW, follow Alexe on TikTok! It seems like she has some great friends...
@alexe.godin when all your friends fly in to come support you 🥹 heart is so full 🤍

- Episode One saw Bachelor Grant meet the 25 ladies looking for a love connection, he also met a Llama.
- He kissed so many contestants that he legit has the record for the Bachelor who kissed the most different contestants on-screen in an episode.

The first impression rose means that Alexe moves into the Love Mansion and she gets the first one-on-one date with Ellis. Her No Drama Llama also moves in, according to reports.

Early on the morning of Friday, March 14, 2025 we are getting a Lunar Eclipse. Total Lunar Eclipses are where the Sun, Earth and Moon line up for your viewing pleasure. Total Lunar Eclipses are also extremely confusing for werewolves, so please keep them in your thoughts.
^Lunar Eclipses: confusing to werewolves^
Here on the East Coast we get a great view and we're supposed to have clear skies.
Timeline Via Gary the Backyard Astronomer:
"the Full Worm Moon slides into the Earth's shadow producing a spectacular total lunar eclipse. The orange tint on the moon's surface during totality is refracted sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere, much like we see beautiful red sunsets. Here is the schedule for the Atlantic time zone: Begins at 2:39a on March 14th 2025/ Mid eclipse at 4:28a/ Ends at 6:17a."
Misc:
🌕 This is safe to view with your eyes, there is no need for welder's goggles, Ray Ban sunglasses, 3D glasses from Cineplex, Minion Goggles from Spirit Halloween, or XRay Specs.
🌕 Most of this info is via Gary Boyle (https://twitter.com/astroeducator) including this explainer "A total lunar eclipse when the sun, Earth and moon are aligned, with Earth in the middle. Earth’s shadow falls on the moon."
*If you happen to spot a Secret Moon Base, report it to Scotty's Secret Moon Base Hotline at 506-431-3136 (long distance charges may apply) (I never answer this line)
Brett Kissel was on the Island over the weekend and this happened:
@brettkissel A moment we both won’t forget. I met Dawson during my Meet & Greet before the show here in PEI, his parents mentioned that he’s the musician of the family. I saw a lot of myself in this kid so I grabbed my guitar & asked him if he could strum a COUPLE cords.. Next thing I knew he was playing “Let Your Horses Run” better than I ever could. So of course I had to ask him to perform on stage with me, and he was nothing less than amazing. Thank you for sharing the stage with me Dawson, congratulations on your stage debut - I see many more in your future buddy. Prince Edward Island, you were amazing tonight.

Here's who won the SAG Awards on the weekend. The experts say that Timothée Chalamet winning for A Complete Unknown was a bit of a surprise. Otherwise, nothing too crazy happened.
- Who: Joel Miller, licensed Saxologist (creds HERE)
- What: FREE JAZZ WORKSHOP!
- Where: Neil-Michaud Room in Arts Building on the Moncton campus of U de M
- When: Friday 21 Feb at 1:30p
- Why: because jazz. Also, because saxophone.
via the Facebook EVENT:
"The Department of Music at the Université de Moncton welcomes saxophonist and composer Joel Miller to present a jazz workshop on Friday, February 21, at 1:30 p.m., in the Neil-Michaud Room, located in the Fine Arts Pavilion of the Arts Building on the Moncton campus.
Miller will share his expertise in the field with students in the department and will also work with members of the Université de Moncton Jazz Ensemble. The ensemble is currently preparing the program for its end-of-year concert, which includes some of the Montreal composer’s works.
Joel is a Juno Award-winning jazz saxophonist and arranger who has performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival and toured with jazz greats such as Brian Blade (Daniel Lanois and Emmylou Harris).
His most recent album, UNSTOPPABLE, is the result of Miller’s studies with contemporary composer and professor John Rea and conductor Guillaume Bourgogne, and features an 18-piece orchestra comprised of Montreal’s most sought-after freelancers in jazz, classical and Latin music.
Joel’s compositions, improvisations, albums and live performances continue to be recognized with awards (Juno 2012, ECMA 2012, 2016, 2021). Most importantly, his music communicates joy, celebration, humour and curiosity about our incredible planet.
Admission is free and open to the general public."
