weekend

went to Montreal
came back...

That was pretty much the weekend, aside from marking some assignments on Friday night. And the trip to Montreal was more about hanging out with the McG's than seeing the city, since all we really had time to do was eat a few meals and log some highway miles.
We did walk around old Montreal for a little while, stopped in at Notre Dame and the fishermen's church, and met up with Rob W and his girlfriend for brunch on Sunday.

I live still

Seems I skipped a weekend update...
My new job started this week - and seems to be going OK. I have been working on a commercial office building development, which is certainly different.

Last night Clayton Park played a show at the Kathedral - they sounded great and a good few people were there despite the rain.

Today it is snowing.

On Saturday we will be driving to Montreal with David and Jen McG.

Last Days

For those who haven't heard - today is my last day of work before starting a new job on Monday.

I have been spending the last week trying to wrap things up, and all of today handing off project folders to other people.

We have a lot of work to do if we are going to get through the next eight of these before Sunday!

On Friday we went over to Andrew and Bradley's for dinner, and to play some music.
On Saturday we went to a church meeting, and then we went and bought me some clothes.
On Sunday I met up with Nolan (who used to work with me) for lunch, and then went to an exhibit at the Design Exchange. After church we watched part one of Krzysztof Kieślowski's The Decalogue.

Weekender

Friday night - Leah went out with the DR grrrls - for dinner, and then to 'cause trouble around town. I stayed home and took the opportunity to watch Batman Begins. I (generally) <3 superhero movies, at least in theory (in practice, they tend to kinda suck). This one was pretty sweet.
Afterwards, I cleaned and set up the drums underneath the bed. It is kinda ridiculous, but it works.

Saturday - Leah had a rehearsal at the house - so people showed up with instruments and learned a few of her songs for the show on Tuesday. That evening, we went to the gluten/dairy-free fish and chips blace on Broadview.

Sunday - we hit up the always exciting Dufferin Mall. We had to buy some random Wal-Mart things, as well as some groceries. I hate even going in to Wal-Mart, but we generally end up there a couple of times a year. Church was good, and afterwards we went to Hosu Bistro with the bound-for-NYC Sue.
