Bon voyage to Voyager… The show’s finale was last night. On a 1-5 scale, I would put it at about a 3.5… Not the best Voyager episode ever, not even CLOSE to the best Star Trek episode ever, but entertaining and better than most of Voyager’s episodes, and a good way to end the show, […]

Very busy couple of weeks. Work suddenly got very busy, with back-to-back ‘fire drill’ proposals for a couple of Toronto clients. With any luck, I’ll get an assignment in Toronto and be here for the rest of the summer at least!

Tuesday… Dies Irae. Dress rehearsal tonight for the Exultate concert on Friday. Today I find out if last week’s Wednesday night session at Christopher’s helped or not. It’s raining today, but that’s ok… It was quite hot all last week, and although it cooled down on the weekend it stayed sunny. The rain is a […]

Last night Julia and I went up to Christopher’s for dinner and some extra-curricular rehearsal time for the Exultate concert next week. As usual, the choir is a bit unprepared for this concert. We’ve only had one rehearsal on some of the music, and we’ve only got the dress rehearsal left before the concert itself. […]

Wow. Must post Blogs more often. I’m getting soft… Had a great weekend, with lots and lots of singing. Other than Sunday morning at St. Thomas’s, it was all Pax Christi, a Toronto Mennonite choir directed by my friend Stephanie Martin. We performed the Dream of Gerontius by Elgar, a fabulous, lush work rarely performed […]

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 […]

This is a test. Blogger lost a long post I wrote this morning (:-E) so I’m a bit miffed with it at the moment.
