toronto romance! :-)



Last night at Jodi's party, Sheryl Gere and Gary Ehrlich
announced that they are engaged. Gary proposed to Sheryl at the top of
the CN tower on Monday. Congratulations, Sheryl and Gary!



(updated 12:15 pm EST)

Torcon starts today! Had a wonderful time at Jodi's place in Newmarket last night. Thanks for hosting a great party, Jodi! If you'd like to post congratulations to Sheryl and Gary on their engagement, please post in my Livejournal page (you can post as an anonymous guest if you're not an LJ member, but be sure to sign your name if you want them to know who you are)...I'll print out the messages and bring them to Sheryl and Gary at Torcon.

Don't be thrown by the user picture of the attractive young blonde who is definitely NOT me...Livejournal is having problems, and somehow my userpics got temporily switched. Pretty bizarre, makes me curious about who has MY userpics. :-)

I'll be at a family birthday celebration at my sister's place later today (Happy Birthday, Dad! :-)), so likely won't be spending much time at Torcon until tomorrow, tho I might check out the Spider Robinson concert this evening after we get back. Jodi and Allison arrive here tonight; they'll be crashing at my place throughout the long weekend. I did drop by the Metro Convention Centre this morning (a 3 minute walk away, how cool is that??) and picked up my membership package, came back to my place to do more work. I think I passed Connie Willis on the street on the way back.

The program book apparently has a lot of errors, so they're going to be printing a daily corrections/update sheet every day. Pre-reg line-ups were pretty short at 10:30 a.m.

I am -so- hyped, can't wait. :-)
