I’m old (again)… 35 this weekend. Anne organized a very nice weekend in Niagara-on-the-Lake, which included a wonderful play at the Shaw Festival Three Men on a Horse, a brunch overlooking Niagara Falls (neither of us had been in over a decade), a wedding celebration for Anne’s friend Sandy, and a very nice B&B. All […]
September??? How the heck can it be September already?? The last couple of months have been pretty great, though the weather’s been a bit iffy. We had a great weekend in the Niagara region, and a couple of weeks later had a lovely trip down to Connecticut for Olga and Rob’s wedding, and stopped in […]

A weekend of great entertainment! On Saturday we went up with Molly to the Tennis Masters Canada in the new tennis facility at York University. The new centre court is very nice, with great sightlines from everywhere. We had great seats for an excellent match, and we’re thinking of trying to get tickets for the […]
Coolest pictures ever.

We bought a new toy on the weekend, and I’ve become a barista overnight. So much fun! Fully-automated espresso and cafe crema production — plus hot steam for heating and frothing milk for cappucinos and lattes. It takes me back to Italia, so it does…
I read the two books — Master and Commander, and The Far Side of the World — while we were on our honeymoon. (I’d taken the first one over with me and couldn’t find books 2-9 in the series in any of the bookstores we checked.) Excellent books, rather too full of rich detail to […]
I’ve posted a whole lot of honeymoon pictures, mostly taken by Anne. These came off the digital camera — there’s a couple of rolls of film that needs to be processed, too. Only a couple of wedding pictures available so far, but the photographer thinks the proofs will be ready by the end of the […]
Home! Our last day of non-travel in Europe was a long, rather packed day in Munich. We spent most of the day in the wonderful Deutsches Museum, a terrific science museum that could have swallowed two whole days without any trouble at all. I particularly enjoyed the boats, trains and planes — and they have […]
