For those of my friends who are familiar with who “the doctor” is because I’ve mentioned him before, here is the verdict as of Friday, November 21, 2003:
New York Newsday.com: Cardiologist acquitted on charges of sexually molesting patient
**I don’t want to post his name because if I did, anyone who does a Google search on [...]

Another one of Ananova’s quirkies:
Ananova - Swedes told to beware drunk and disorderly elks

Steve F. sent me a piece of philosophy this morning. Steve’s a very easygoing guy and played bass in the jazz trio I hired for the party last Saturday night. My brother’s known him for yonks and I knew I could depend on him to deliver that night. I’m also very glad they were there [...]

… a day that continued from Wednesday with no rest for the wicked — I pulled an all-nighter trying to finish that bleedin’ CMS paper, but next thing I knew it was 6:45am and Eliza had rolled up in her little yellow Mercedes SLK and it was time to go to the office. What a [...]

“A big THANK YOU to you, for a wonderful [...]

cutting Jane’s cake
It’s hard to tell from this photo because it’s a bit far away, but the cake is designed to look like cross-sections of a tree, and there are chocolate leaves on top. How clever! Their daughter, Jane, made it and she makes the most amazing cakes. The funny part is that she gave [...]

This Communications Paper is gonna be late… can’t make the post office deadline. I’ve been flat out this week so the coursework will be compromised. But I’m looking forward to the party — I am dying for more fun and less work, even though the party will still be lots of work. I’m emceeing, and [...]

I’m still haggling with the hotel. I’m a pretty good deal-finder, but I can’t say I’m a great deal-maker. I give in too quickly. My dad’s good at bargaining, it comes with being from a country where you have to haggle for EVERYTHING. My dad still continues the practice in Canada — he’ll even try [...]
