As seen on a Mustang Ferrari on University Ave.
Gah, I’m so frustrated. I wasted an entire evening on car maintenance that mostly didn’t happen. Just getting spark plugs from the Ford dealership reminded me of when I went to them to complete the car importation back in the spring and they were complete jerks. I’m [...]

Music: “Tour de France” by Ben Charest (”The Triplets of Belleville” soundtrack)
Some pet therapy for me, courtesy of knitty_kat’s kitties. It was a very pleasant way to end a full day, much of which was spent on the phone making various arrangements and running errands.
I finally got in touch with Berit to confirm [...]

I keep forgetting to post the promo card here. I handed out more today, and if you’re in the GTA I’ll be happy to mail a bunch out to you to distribute to your [...]

This was taken a couple of days before Rachael and I drove down to Pennsylvania and New York to scatter David’s ashes.
Life’s been rough in 2006, but it feels rougher than ever now that Hugh is gone. He made the transition from my former life in Pennsylvania to my current life [...]

Music: “Allentown” by Billy Joel
Length: 3:45
This video is part of a project that’s coming along very, very slowly. The CD** of David’s music that I compiled to hand out at his memorial on December 28 has a list of 14 songs. I plan to use all 14 songs as soundtracks for videoclips I’ve [...]

Length: 1:48
Music: “Cieco, Cieco” Barber - Ben Charest (from “The Triplets of Belleville” soundtrack)
David playing with Hugh in front of our house in Scranton. Hugh wasn’t as lively in this clip because he knew he had to go inside soon. The clips I shot prior to this one are in the next video.
I [...]
My heart shattered into a million pieces today.
I came home from work and found Hugh dead on the kitchen floor. I turned the corner, saw him, and fell to my knees, sobbing his name over and over… it’s as if it wasn’t me, it was someone else crumpled and unable to breathe.
I took his lifeless [...]
A photo I took on Rachael’s birthday last year during the Red Photowalk, still one of my favourites. I’ll be participating again this year, albeit remotely here in Toronto and probably with Gigi in tow. Watch this space for blurry red pics with a dog’s nose or tail!
I was having a downer of a Monday last week, but then I checked the mailbox and found this nifty origami fish via transatlantic post from Neil inside a handwritten letter.
Thank you, Neil, the timing couldn’t have been better!

In a completely random moment today working on Excel spreadsheets, I looked up and had an image of David standing in the hallway. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I couldn’t stop my eyes from welling up [...]
