We've had the blog upgrade and the body refurb, so now it's back to business. The bathroom reno (x 2) is still in progress, but that's no excuse. I can't even legitimately complain about the winter weather, as it's been more like spring, today at least. Tonight I'm working on the workspace, as prep for writing my new website (yeah, is know, it's akin to "knitting a cover for my typewriter") and marvelling at the meaning of what iTunes comes up with when you hit Party Shuffle. Is there hidden meaning to Ladysmith Black Mambazo, followed by Perlman's version of Vivaldi's "Winter" and then didgeridoo remixed? Perhaps only after a lot of wine. And I really have to skip over the Trevor Pinnock to get to the FYC. Not too far gone to dance -- yay!

This blog has gone through a technical upgrade in the past couple of days. Thanks to my webguy's tenacity and giant brain and willingness to put in some late hours, it is back to looking pretty close to the way it used to. The blog engine now behind it has lots of smart features. One of them is the ability to screen out comment spam, but that means real people who want to comment must first register (just the first time you try to comment). I hope you dear readers will consider it worth the trouble.

It's a brand new year and I have much to celebrate. My minor medical mystery has been solved and I hope to have it dealt with via a non-surgical procedure pretty soon. It took two ultrasounds, a CT scan, several blood tests and an MRI to figure out what the problem was, but thanks to the exceptional medical team I am lucky to have access to, there is a cure in my future. Meanwhile, I have lots of interesting work to do, including a new venture that I will describe shortly in this space.

On the home front, Claire has a new one -- home, that is. She is happily making Bob's Leaside condo her own space, while she works at a temporary non-animal job at Enbridge. Her snake has migrated with her, but so far, her doggies are staying with us, except for occasional visits.

Christmas was restful, with just the right proportion of family and friends visiting. Now I feel recharged for the next adventure.
