Catchin' Up

Well, Philippe's new address is MTL. Maryse took some pictures when she was down on the weekend. Here's a shot of his apartment...
And the view from the back of the apartment....
Les gars...

He's settling in and currently looking for a summer job to save up before starting UQAM in the fall. Good luck Philippe!

Here at home I was supposed to spend the day fishing with Pierre. Don't know what happened...I was ready to go but no sign of Pierre. So, spent the day undertaking a very different activity - putting together 4 new CD towers. The "wall of sound" continues to grow. Held off buying these. Seems IKEA discontinued the ones I had and I had to decide on an "off-colour" model. I chose a darker wood model and it actually looks quite good.

Not bad for a day's work...

The Polka Dot Door

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
