I met Neil Katz and his wife Asako for dinner last night. They’re in town for a week. For those who have lost contact, Neil finished his graduate work in Bonn and is now on a two-year fellowship programme in Japan. He will wrap that up next year and will subsequently be looking for a job. He and Asako, a professional violinist, have no idea where they’ll be after that but may end up back here in Toronto. Let’s hope! I have a snapshot of them which I’ll post real soon now.<\/p>\n
I’m keeping a beady eye on the BlogVoices feature. So far, it seems to have slowed my pages to a crawl. If it doesn’t speed up soon, it’s toast.<\/p>\n
