Another very busy week behind us. We’re closing in on May 16th, the end of the Build and Unit Test phase of my project, and the team’s working at full speed. I managed to fit a few non-work things in this week, however: – Exultate board meeting on Tuesday, my first meeting as chair as […]

The Easter weekend is upon us, and Anne and I are at my place. Seems strange to be here — it’s been a month since I first moved up to Anne’s, and… no, the bugs haven’t completely gone, so I can’t move back here any time soon. 🙁 We rented Amelie and watched it last […]

Just got back from a couple of days in St. Charles, IL, at the Center for Professional Education, a training facility that’s basically the last vestige of the Arthur Andersen corporation. Accenture rents space at the facility for training sessions. I was one of six senior managers from our Toronto office down on an excellent […]

It’s been a really busy time over the last few days. The weather hasn’t helped — a late winter storm dumped about a foot of snow and ice on Friday and Saturday, nixing our plans to go to Georgetown for the weekend to see Anne’s parents. It’s finally starting to warm up today. Work is […]

Well, in Toronto it sure doesn’t feel like spring. There’s a horrible ice storm kinda thing going on outside.

Well, it’s only Wednesday but it’s been a very busy week! This evening Anne joined my team for an outing to Gerrard St. East for very tasty Indian food. Yesterday night, we went with Meredith and Bernard for Japanese food at Kobe and then saw the wonderfully twisted musical “Sweeney Todd”. Monday I met Suzy […]

Coming up to the end of a particularly long week, I’m looking forward to a busy weekend. Tonight Anne and I are going to the Opera to see Madame Butterfly. It’s not my favorite opera, but should be a nice break nonetheless. Tomorrow the Usual Suspects are getting together at Molly’s for dinner… and on […]

A nice weekend. Finally finished playing Europa Universalis yesterday (the last sixty years of the game were really boring because I exhausted the tech tree and had pretty much unlimited cash so I bought friends all over, conquered India, and also built a micro-empire north of China running west all the way to the Black […]

The ongoing battle vs. the clothes moths continues. A setback this week: I didn’t appreciate that the bug spray people would insist on the closets being fully emptied. They were far from fully empty: I have big closets with lots of stuff in them. Curses. So anyway, they’re going to come back on April 1st […]

If you haven’t seen it yet, go have a look at Odd Todd. Hilarious.
