Long overdue update

A regular visitor to the blog has requested that I get my act together and provide an update. In the past month and a half, during which time I have been conspicuously silent, the following events have taken place:

• Over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, we moved house (see post below). Well, to be accurate, we moved our belongings from a storage warehouse somewhere in Dorval to our new home in Westmount. Approximately a month later I can report that we are unpacked all but for six boxes; however, the office is in chaos as my desk did not survive the voyage across the ocean completely intact. (The carpenter tells me not to worry.)
• I finished a four-month contract at OZ Communications just yesterday, during which time I had a ball and made many great friends.
• Tuesday I start another technical writing stint, this time at McGill University.
• Kassie had her entire class over for a Halloween party (and the house survived).
• We had our first set of visitors just this past weekend, from Buffalo, NY. Sadly, it rained the entire weekend, no kidding!
• I turned 40.
