Moving

The main news of the week is my grandfather’s flirt with death. He seems to be fighting hard and is on the road to recovery, a huge relief to us all. I’m looking forward to seeing him again at Christmas. Other than that, a busy weekend, but everything’s out of 215-80 St. Patrick Street now. […]

A minor detail

Oh yeah, the wedding date is June 19, 2004. 🙂

Engagement party

Shameful lack of blogging recently. Recent activity: work (work) WORK work … work, slowly moving stuff up to Anne’s, highly fun/successful engagement party on Saturday (60’s spy theme), playing games on the computer. I finally also picked up a golf bag and a putter to complete my kit and have had a couple of opportunities […]

Weekend

We’re wrapping up a fabulous weekend. On Friday we went with Molly to the Corner House, a great restaurant on Davenport. It was the last day of the Summerlicious Restaurant Week, so we got a fixed price meal for $30 + drinks and tax. I inadvertently had an all-vegetarian meal, but it was nonetheless delicious. […]

Sold!

Looks like I’m going to be homeless… I put my place on the market last week and accepted an offer last night. The closing is August 29th, so the pressure’s on to find another home or figure out a storage strategy for all my stuff!

Happy Canada Day!

Happy long Canada Day weekend, everyone! It’s been a stinking hot week here in Toronto, and despite promises of thunderstorms cooling the air last night we’re still suffering from lack of air conditioning. But maybe not for too much longer! My place went on the market last week and we’re expecting offers this coming Wednesday. […]

Engaged!

Huge news to report! Anne Macdonald and I are engaged to be married! Still to be settled: almost everything except time frame — early next summer. Thank you to everyone who’ve been sending congratulations and best wishes… We’re really lucky to have such great friends and family! If you didn’t get the message, you can […]

A couple of weeks with no content! Shameful! Bad blogger, no dessert. The main news, of course, is that Anne’s now running a hotel, or at least, what was a hotel up until last week. Now she’s got until September to turn it into a U of T residence! So far, everything seems to be […]

The meeting of the parents

Anne and I are looking forward to a great long weekend in New York this coming weekend. We’re going to be staying in Brooklyn with Paul & Kelly (& Jamie) on Friday and Saturday nights, but will move to a hotel downtown for Sunday night. On Sunday we’re going to my cousin’s place for dinner […]
