Edward and I are thrilled to announced the early arrival of our trio, Colin (2lb12oz), Keith (3lb14oz) and Evelyn (2lb13oz) on September 25, 2010. They were born two months premature, and had some significant challenges at birth. However, they're doing very well at present and we expect that our little Pumpkin (Keith) will be home from the ( Read more... )

I simply CANNOT believe that I'm missing Peter Murphy tonight at Mavericks! At Mavericks!! The tiniest venue!!! I'm so totally out of the loop that I had NO idea he's playing at Bluesfest. This is one concert I'm truly saddened to miss... we have a medical appointment out of town tomorrow morning, and thus no matter how much I'd love to see him ( Read more... )

Yes, I think it really has been a year since my past post, and I think it related to the same topic! I'll be heading to Toronto next weekend for my annual birthday bash, and will be at Savage on Saturday (17th) night. I hope to see a few of you out, and perhaps even catch up with a few more should the opportunity arise :D

There is an all-night vigil, and they are projecting the names of our Vimy dead onto the memorial itself ( Read more... )

Is there anyone in the Ottawa area looking for a cat? My friend is absolutely heartbroken at having to surrender "Yosef", but the cat has shown himself to be not kid-friendly, and they have a little girl juuust about to hit the crawling phase.... Yosef is a big, playful and healthy 5 year old who has an eye for adventure and a TON of personality ( Read more... )

Apart from working over 150 hours of overtime in the past 8 weeks, I'm hanging in! I've included some pictures to illustrate what else I've been up to in the past few months, so this post is rather image heavy. I should be in Toronto at some point in the new year (I WANT TO GO DANCING!) and apart from that, I anticipate that my life will slow ( Read more... )

I *think* I'll be heading out to Savage ce soir for a final glimpse of subcultured society before I return to Ottawa at the end of this month ( Read more... )

I'm in Toronto this eve to see Handel's Messiah. We've been looking forward to this since September ( Read more... )
