Guest Blather: Andrea Dale

Happy Birthday to Scott Murray today!

Blatherpics were taken yesterday. The top photo is of Andrea, who stayed over last night. In the bottom photo, Jeff is talking to Allison and Jodi, Graham is cooking in the kitchen, Andrea is on the couch reading an article I wrote about Ruth for the April issue of ArtCalendar magazine (which came in the mail yesterday).

And here's a...

Guest Blathering from Andrea

Well, once again I am at Jeff and Debbie's apartment in Toronto. The sky is a clear, light blue outside, and the morning light is seeping through the blinds of Debbie's office.

I arrived around 2:00 yesterday afternoon, driving from Lansing, Michigan. When I stepped into the apartment, I found Debbie and Graham :-)

For the rest of the day and evening I caught up with those two, as well as Allison, Jodi and Doug (a friend of Graham's who came to dinner). Graham cooked up a delicious chicken stir-fry meal, which we inhaled . .And the rest of the evening was full of conversation and music :-)

It's great seeing Debbie again. She is as spastic, uh energetic as the last time we visited together (before OVFF last fall).

It's time for me to take a shower, before meeting Graham at the Royal Ontario Museum . . .

See ya!

Andrea

Debbie again...

An explanation of Andrea's "spastic" comment. When I get excited or enthusiastic, I don't tend to hide it very well. I would majorly suck as a poker player. Andrea was highly amused during a music session yesterday when we were working out an arrangement of a song we recently collaborated on.

Some of you may think this personality trait of mine endearing, but you should remember it also extends to everything else as well. If I'm mad about something or at someone, I don't hide that very well, either. And when watching horror movies, this trait often manifests itself in a tendency to dig my nails into the arm of the person next to me. :-)
