Just a quick note to say Happy New Year to everyone… I hope you have a wonderful 2003! 2002 was very good to me. I’m giving thanks this year for many things, but chief among them my wonderful girlfriend Anne, who’s been making my life very happy for the last few months. I’m also grateful […]

We’re back! Anne and I got back to Canada on Friday after a wonderful week in England. The photos are here. We started out on the 20th by picking up our rental car, a lovely little Peugeot, and driving to my grandmother’s place in Cuckfield. There, we settled into the tower room in the house […]

Anne and I are in the business lounge at the airport, waiting for our flight. We got cheap discounted tickets so they wouldn’t let me use my upgrades, but I still get into the lounge until February. It’s been a great couple of days! The Lord of the Rings was… well, let’s just say you […]

Monday, and a cold, freezing day it is too. Sunny and clear, as are all the coldest days in Toronto. Anne took her winter coat in for dry cleaning on Saturday, counting on our warm spell continuing for a couple of days, so she was very worried about turning into an icicle on the way […]

It’s Saturday, the best-est day of the week. Slept in, did the crossword (tricky one this week, but we cracked it in the end), and had a very high scoring game of Scrabble with Anne. (She won 353 to 337.) Last night we went to see the new James Bond movie, Die Another Day. It […]

And more on yesterday’s theme, an entry from inpassing.org: “The thing with casting and superclasses is like this: all mothers are women, but not all women are mothers. If I have something of a woman type… A woman object, if you will, I can’t just cast her to a mother type. Well, not without… hrm.” […]

A very exciting weekend! Congratulations to Kelly and Paul on the new, safe and healthy arrival of James Edward Asten Golding at 8am on Saturday, about 7 hours after the post-concert party wrapped up at their house following the Exultate Christmas concert on Friday. I went to see Jimbo in the hospital yesterday and he’s […]

I can’t believe it’s December already. Actually, I can believe it’s December: it’s been really cold. Still, Christmas is now officially Around The Corner. And guess what? I haven’t written my Christmas cards yet! But… I have done most of my shopping! On Saturday the Globe had an article about online Christmas shopping, and so […]
