Did you know that Santa has some helper elves in Florida? And did you know that Santa’s sun-worshipping assistants are in charge of ensuring that all power yard equipment is properly prepared to celebrate the Yuletide festivities? It’s true. On Saturday the 13th, Spouse and I hosted the office Christmas party. What preceded the party, [...]  Both Spouse and I had the day off today – the first of a few in a row over the holiday season, I am pleased to report – and we started things off with a bang by getting up early and heading over to the local community centre for a free skate, courtesy of no [...] …is listening, but confused about the address to which the merchandise should be delivered. In other news, my Mom is ready to knock over a liquor store after leaving the opera tonight. I couple of days ago, I posted about the story behind the making of Sebastien’s Theme, a piece of music that my band and I wrote and recorded for a movie soundtrack several years ago.

Wish me luck, people, with ten centimetres expected between midnight and six a.m., I foresee myself entering a cold and frosty garage at six bells for the purpose of firing up the snow blower. To quote Major Tom: [...] Henry examines John, Paul, George and Ringo – four new swimmy friends for Walter the Betta (they’re in there, honest – look under the filter at the bottom right of the tank – George and Ringo are clearly visible. Or is that Paul?). I am nothing if not a serious stickler for blog-related traditions and [...] After many years of searching, last night I managed to find (thanks to the glory that is teh Intarwebs) not one but TWO copies of Johnny Bower’s vocal masterpiece, Honky the Christmas Goose.
