So I set up a new company in late November, and I’m out on my own. I’ve been pretty relaxed about marketing so far, since I’ve had a few more or less back-to-back jobs handed to me by Accenture and other colleagues. Here’s my business card image. At some point, I’m going to rework the […]
While I’m in posting mode (and getting to love the BloggerBot utility in Hello at the same time — man, this is easy!) here’s a lovely piece from the new MOMA in New York, which we saw on our recent visit. I forget its title, but it’s essentially a guy hitting on a woman. I […]
And here’s one last view of the house. It was always an extremely comfortable place, and I’m going to miss it!
Anne and I went to Guelph on Saturday and said goodbye to the old homestead. My parents are moving out to Victoria at the end of the month, so they’re in the process of packing — though the house looked impressively devoid of packing crates when we were there. We took a walk with them […]

We went to see Der Rosenkavalier at the Met, had a couple of excellent meals, and spent three afternoons in, respectively, the new-ly renovated MOMA, the Metropolitan Museum, and the Guggenheim. And we got to see Paul, Kelly, Neil and […]
Just testing the BloggerBot utility…

This month marks ten years and six months since I started working for Accenture, an almost inconceivably long time. When I started I thought I would be with the company for two or three years, but in many ways the company has done an excellent job of providing a steady incremental stream of personal challenges […]
It’s almost Hallowe’en, but I have a very tangible sense that the scariest part of the year is now past. This fall was surprisingly tense, with the sudden responsibility of finding an operations manager for Exultate, keeping the organization on the rails, trying to learn one of the hardest pieces of music I’ve ever seen, […]
