Another Monday… I had a good weekend, getting most of my errands done. Saturday I was supposed to do my taxes, but as it turned out it took far longer to update the last 12 months of activity into Microsoft Money than I had anticipated (a prerequisite step) so the taxes will have to be […]

Congratulations to Michael Kim for scoring a job at Apple in San Francisco!! He’s holding out for enough money to get a guest room, which sentiment I endorse and support. Road trip! I’ve been busy this week, with choirs (Pax Christi, Exultate, St. Thomas’s tonight), a visit to Philip (good discussion about the class struggle, […]

Apart from a whole bunch of singing at St. Thomas’ (Easter weekend, four services) I had a nice lazy weekend. Kind of brain dead, actually. I played a lot of Starcraft: Brood War. I missed the Easter week services at SMM… The atmosphere at St. Thomas’ is different, and although the music standards are much […]

Ok. Looks like the problem has been fixed. On the way in to work today, I noticed how many people are still or again wearing suits. When I got in, I wrote a fairly long and (I think) interesting Blog about why this should be, two years after business casual won the war in corporate […]

I strolled up to St. Thomas’ for Palm Sunday in the morning and got home about 1. Dave and I tuned […]

The pictures from the latest Whistler trip are up! Check them out here.

Almost time for the weekend. I’m attending a party tonight at Richard and Elizabeth Green’s to toast Berk Barnard and his girlfriend Michelle as they prepare to move to Brandon, Alberta for Berk’s new job. On the choral front, I’m back at St. Thomas’ church just in time for the Easter Week Marathon, and Bryan […]

Well, I had a wonderful weekend, thank you. The family trip to Whistler — meeting up with Amanda and Ivy from the Seattle project, and Ivy’s mother, friend Eliza, and boyfriend Jeremy — was a great success. Air Canada mysteriously failed to lose our luggage in either direction, and Kate’s car mysteriously survived the trip […]

I met Neil Katz and his wife Asako for dinner last night. They’re in town for a week. For those who have lost contact, Neil finished his graduate work in Bonn and is now on a two-year fellowship programme in Japan. He will wrap that up next year and will subsequently be looking for a […]
