Sorry, no updates for a while. Not much to report. I’ve been in heavy rehearsal mode for Consort Caritatis’ performances in Kitchener (tonight) and Toronto (Saturday), which has eaten up a lot of evenings. Other than that, with the weather poor until this week (it’s now gorgeous) I spent a lot of time indoors on […]

Wow, check out this sterling entry that appeared on my guest book today. I’ve attracted my first crackpot! Whoohoo!

I saw Star Wars, and I’m glad my expectations were low: it exceeded them, and I enjoyed the movie, but it wasn’t really that great and if you’re not a Star Wars fan, I would suggest you check out Spider-Man instead. I went to see that on Saturday with Andy & Heather Pierce (up from […]

A couple of bits of news: First (and best!) I’ve got Hoover back! Mum & Dad dropped her off yesterday, and she immediately did a chameleon job that was so impressive we were unable to find her in the apartment in approx. 45 minutes of searching, and feared she’d snuck her way outside somehow. When […]

Ok, waking up from 4 days of site inactivity… So I made it home on time on Saturday, and was very pleased to see Mum & Dad waiting at the airport to drive me home, which was very kind of them. On the way home, however, I started feeling nauseous… I put it down to […]

I just set up a quick Daily Essentials list of bookmarks for me to visit. You’ve probably done this yourself. Here they are: Arts & Letters Daily – ideas, criticism, debate This site was recommended by a friend a few days ago, and I went and had another look at it just now. Really excellent. […]

Back home! I’ve got a few important things to do in the next couple of weeks: get my new passport (spent the requisite hour in line in the passport office today), book my ticket to Calgary, get my cellphone recharger and cut my cellphone costs, etc. etc. But I’m also working on some fun stuff: […]

After a quiet weekend (much of which was spent working on the Exultate contact management database) I hit the slopes again Monday and Tuesday. The skiing was the best yet. We had two feet of snow over the weekend, so there was fresh (and deep!) powder all over the mountain. On Monday afternoon I skied […]

A skiing breakthrough today after a good lesson yesterday afternoon: I can ski moguls! This may be principally because I’ve finally had enough back-to-back ski days that I’ve got over the initial fear period and have learned to commit myself down the slope, a key part of the technique. Anyway, I’m pretty pleased with my […]

A quiet morning here. Ivy has gone with Amanda into town to do some shopping before Amanda flies back to Seattle this afternoon. I’m taking the opportunity to rest up (I’m feeling a bit of a cold coming on) and get caught up on emails and news. So: Jackson Hole. Quite a bit different from […]
