off to eeriecon

Hey, sounds like the Toronto Star article on our ice-out ritual may appear in this Saturday's issue. Also, apparently the reporter followed my Blatherings link on the topic to some of my other projects, said he liked my cartoons. Asked if I had any specifically about ice-out. I didn't, so I made one. :-) Anyway, there's a possibility that the strip above may appear with the article, but it will be depend on the editor.

The reporter also really liked this photo of Jeff taking an ice bath. He and I are both hoping that the editor chooses it to go with the article. Jeff, on the other hand, isn't quite as excited about the idea of thousands of people seeing him in the buff, but I think it's a good photo. Plus he looks so relaxed and cheerful that you really can't tell that he was only in the ice water for a split second before leaping out, bellowing and scrambling for the sauna.

:-D

I'll be at Eeriecon this weekend since it looks as if ice-out won't happen until early next week.

Welcome cats in the sushi restaurant in our new neighbourhood!

Forgot to report on the meeting with our contractor last weekend. His name's Sean (or possibly Shawn), and both Jeff and I really like him. He's remarkably like Jeff in many ways. :-) Afterward, Jeff and I had sushi in a restaurant in our future New Neighbourhood. Great place, and they have my favourite sushi restaurant item actually listed on the menu: Tobiko with Quail's Egg (!). I usually have to ask for this as a special order.

Must go finish packing.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
