I spent the morning going around Paul and Kelly’s new house (!) in Toronto (!!!). For a limited time (it’s a BIG file) you can click here to download the (14.8MB) picture file.

Congratulations to Robyn and Dave on the birth of their daughter Madeline on the weekend! I saw her yesterday and today and she’s adorable. Doesn’t look like Dave at all! 😉 Can’t believe I forgot to put that in the previous post, come to think of it.

Right. I doubt my posts are going to get much more frequent in the next little while as it’s that time of year again and I have lots to do. But I’ll try! Last week I painted the living room and put everything back where it was supposed to be. I’m pretty happy with the […]

Ok, the bad news — another two weeks between posts. I’m sorry!! I’ve been busy!! In fact, I’ve been painting! (That’s the good news!) The dining room looks great — a really nice shade of blue above the bookshelves on the south wall, and the hallway is really really yellow. I think that’s a good […]

Well, well, well. I’m baaack! Some of the things that happened over the last few weeks: – 3 Carmina Burana concerts (1 Exultate, then 2 Mendelssohn) – 1 Miraculous ‘how-the-hell-did-we-pull-THAT-off’ Ager concert (Calvin) – Civ 3 – Continued progress towards fitness – Lunch with Christine Griffith, who’s doing great and thinking of retiring back to […]

Gosh, it’s been forever since my last posting. Doh! Busy couple of weeks… Well, not really *that* busy. I’ve been staying up too late at night playing computer games, then sleeping in in the morning. As a result, I’ve been getting up too late to get much done. Better turn that trend around before it […]

I had dinner yesterday with Jackie Chilton and her friend Anthea at Lai Wah Heen in the Metropolitan Hotel. Lai Wah Heen qualifies as the best chinese food I’ve had in a long time, although at $55 per person it’s far from the cheapest! The wontons in the soup were bursting with shrimp, and the […]

Week two of sweet freedom. Friday and Saturday I was in Guelph for Thanksgiving, and came back into town on Sunday. I made a first attempt at a pot roast for Sunday dinner, which came off pretty well (and has been serving nicely as leftovers this week). Monday I finally crossed StarCraft off my list […]

I’ve managed to check a couple of tasks off the to-do list. The latest one was finally getting the wireless LAN working with the other router. So I can write this from the living room, via the internet connection upstairs in the office! The weather’s been spectacular for the last few days. I was up […]

I’m FREE!!! It feels wonderful… Not that I’ve been sleeping in, so far. I had a pretty normal weekend, but yesterday I got out for a game of golf with Bruce (fabulous weather, our last batch of summer heat timed perfectly for me), cooked myself a nice dinner, and went off to Mendelssohn. Today I […]
