Sold!

A very busy week, but a great ending! The condo has been sold, the project testing is over and we’re going to start production installation next week, and Anne’s residence got occupancy permission (at the 11th hour) from the city.

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. 🙂

Cape Spear & Witless Bay

Yesterday (Monday) we met up with Craig and Susan and, after coffee and a partridgeberry muffin at Tim Horton’s (yay!) we hit the road to Cape Spear, North America’s easternmost point, just 18 km down the coast from St. John’s. The weather had turned cold, rainy and wet, but the rain stopped shortly after we […]

Cod & Scruncheons

Probably won’t have time to finish posting this whole post in the 20 minutes I have left on my hour, but I’ll get started anyway. We’ve been finally having a lazy afternoon to catch our breath after three busy days in Newfoundland. The weather’s turned cool and cloudy and there wasn’t enough time to get […]

Empire

Book City is a very dangerous store, which cleverly and prominently displays books like Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power where innocent browsers like me will see them. I couldn’t resist. Niall Ferguson is apparently the new prodigy in the British historican field, and Empire […]
