A fun, but tiring weekend… Warning: probably not terribly interesting for the layperson, unless you care about the minutia of my life. Friday night I went with Molly and Anne to see Poochwater, a fun little play about a guy with acute amnesia, in the tiny Theatre Passe Muraille Backspace. We had a great dinner […]

It’s nice being back in the office. Midway through the afternoon one of the partners took me aside and gave me four tickets to the Raptor’s game last night, as he wasn’t able to go. My clients weren’t able to change their plans with such short notice, so along with Anne, I ended up taking […]

Ok, there are times when one’s audience speaks, and one has to listen. From the search engine records for my site: “why don t you mention any cats”. Well… I have no idea, but clearly it’s time to correct that. I’ve got a picture, but for some reason I’m having trouble uploading it today. My […]

We had dinner round at Paul and Kelly’s wonderful newly-renovated home yesterday. I’m deeply envious of the kitchen, in-house washer/dryer, and whirlpool tub. Easily impressed, I guess… It was lovely. Molly was showing off her article in Canadian Business, her first time in print. I haven’t had a chance to read through it yet, but […]

Saturday morning started with the weekly demolition job on the Globe and Mail’s Saturday cryptic crossword. This week we cruised through it in about half an hour: unlike last week (whose answer “ambushment” will forever reign in infamy) this week’s had reasonable clues. After lunch I saved the world (ahem… finished playing NOLF2 on the […]

Quick update (no graphic today): I’ve been confirmed to start on another project in Toronto on Monday. Hallelujah!

Freedom! My rolloff date from the Hartford project is confirmed for this Friday. Tomorrow will be my last trip on a Dash 8 (pictured) for… well, at least a couple of weeks. Actually, it looks likely my next project will be in Toronto, which I’m psyched about… Yesterday’s theatre trip to the Hartford Stage was […]

Just finished speed reading through Iain Bank’s new book Dead Air last night. (I only read a little bit during the work day… ;-)) Iain’s back to form!! I was disappointed by his last “conventional” novel, The Business, which was not up to his usual standard, but Dead Air was great. Most similar to another […]

The weather here in Hartford is beautiful this week, cool but sunny. Now that I’m in my final week I’m almost (but not quite) sorry I’m wrapping up so soon. Tonight I’m going back to the Hartford Stage to see Edgardo Mine, a new play by Alfred Uhry, based on a true story about a […]

My last couple of weeks here in Hartford are winding down quickly, mainly because I’ve got quite a lot to do. Makes a nice change from being bored. On Monday I organized a small group of people to drive down to the coast, about an hour away. Just east of New Haven is a town […]
