It’s Saturday, the best-est day of the week. Slept in, did the crossword (tricky one this week, but we cracked it in the end), and had a very high scoring game of Scrabble with Anne. (She won 353 to 337.) Last night we went to see the new James Bond movie, Die Another Day. It […]

And more on yesterday’s theme, an entry from inpassing.org: “The thing with casting and superclasses is like this: all mothers are women, but not all women are mothers. If I have something of a woman type… A woman object, if you will, I can’t just cast her to a mother type. Well, not without… hrm.” […]

A very exciting weekend! Congratulations to Kelly and Paul on the new, safe and healthy arrival of James Edward Asten Golding at 8am on Saturday, about 7 hours after the post-concert party wrapped up at their house following the Exultate Christmas concert on Friday. I went to see Jimbo in the hospital yesterday and he’s […]

I can’t believe it’s December already. Actually, I can believe it’s December: it’s been really cold. Still, Christmas is now officially Around The Corner. And guess what? I haven’t written my Christmas cards yet! But… I have done most of my shopping! On Saturday the Globe had an article about online Christmas shopping, and so […]

A fun, but tiring weekend… Warning: probably not terribly interesting for the layperson, unless you care about the minutia of my life. Friday night I went with Molly and Anne to see Poochwater, a fun little play about a guy with acute amnesia, in the tiny Theatre Passe Muraille Backspace. We had a great dinner […]

It’s nice being back in the office. Midway through the afternoon one of the partners took me aside and gave me four tickets to the Raptor’s game last night, as he wasn’t able to go. My clients weren’t able to change their plans with such short notice, so along with Anne, I ended up taking […]

Ok, there are times when one’s audience speaks, and one has to listen. From the search engine records for my site: “why don t you mention any cats”. Well… I have no idea, but clearly it’s time to correct that. I’ve got a picture, but for some reason I’m having trouble uploading it today. My […]

We had dinner round at Paul and Kelly’s wonderful newly-renovated home yesterday. I’m deeply envious of the kitchen, in-house washer/dryer, and whirlpool tub. Easily impressed, I guess… It was lovely. Molly was showing off her article in Canadian Business, her first time in print. I haven’t had a chance to read through it yet, but […]
