  1. Mail From the Kidlets

    March 9, 2006 by Gail

    Got my mail key today and checked the box, which was stuffed full of mostly “real” mail (low junk ratio, thus far). But the best part was the stuff from the kidlets — lovely little drawings, Valentines Day cards bursting with COLOUR and adorable misspellings. Hugh was unfazed, as you can see. (He’d be less impressed if the munchkins were there in person.)

    But the cards aren’t encroaching on his space, which is reserved and cushioned with old towels and pillows. Here, for example, is his spot under my desk where he spends much of his time.

    I have to be careful not to roll over his tail while he moves around in his sleep.


  2. Raining Like It’s the West Coast!

    With Krisanne at the Fairmont Royal York, where she’s staying while in town on business. We just finished an enormous meal of Korean BBQ consisting almost entirely of MEAT. I’d eaten here with Sergio back in July, and found this place on Queen Street West great value for money. We went for the all-you-can-eat BBQ, which comes with side dishes. We ate our fill!

    It was great to see Krisanne again, not only a familiar face but a connection to the West Coast. It even RAINED today, for the first time I’d ever seen in Toronto. How fitting! Now, all we need is the Pacific Ocean. Some mountains would be nice, too.

    Tried to take some photos at the Fairmont when we got back, but arms-length, handheld shots in dim hotel lobbies do not make for stellar pictures. I played around with the red channel on a couple (top and bottom left) and liked the results.
