Yesssss. It is sooooo good.

Sara and I spent part of one summer in Europe together and successfully avoided any human contact other than each other for over six weeks. We eventually developed our own language and various alter-egos to keep us entertained. Witness the birth of Dot and Dorothy. In addition to our multi-tongued ramblings, Sara used a beach towel in France that was borrowed from the (French) family we were staying with. Manufactured in France but with the text written in English, splashed proudly across the front of the towel was the heartwarming sentiment: I love you so much! But those silly French...they underlined "much" instead of "so". So now we say: I love you so Much! Instead of: I love you sooooo much.

Advice: Listen to Slim Whitman. His sing-song cowboy tunes will warm your heart and rock you to sleep.

It snowed all day today. Tomorrow we go to Halifax for a show and some family fun time with the Terfrys.

In other news, Rich discovered this mind-blowing, life-changing video. Enjoy.

Summer in January

The weather has really warmed up the last few days and we're starting to sweat at -8 degrees (celsius, that is...). But at least it has started snowing again. And it's a good thing I like boots so much.

Today Rich is really excited because his copy of "My Winnepeg" has arrived. Apparently it's one of the most mind-blowing pieces of cinema to come out in recent years so I'm excited to watch it. Last night we watched "Sunrise" by Murnau- the same guy who did "Nosferatu". I never forget the first time I saw Nosferatu. Sunrise is "A song of two humans". I'm thinking of having that be the catch phrase of our wedding.

Things are pretty exciting on  the wedding front. We picked out our cake today and I know what I'm going to walk down the aisle to. I think that maybe it's bad luck to tell all before the day so I'll leave it at this: birds and slide guitars. Lemons and blueberries and lots and lots of birch branches.

In other news, Andrew Wyeth, painter of "Christina's World" died this week at 91.

So long, Mr. Wyeth.

After following the pregnancy posts of one of Sara's friend and becoming completely dependent on Danielle's hair-cut updates, Rich and I have started this...after I attempted to make a web page which, not surprisingly, failed. So here it is. Come prepared to hear about my wedding-dress related nightmares (also influenced by Danielle and consisting of a tailor-related jester's collar) and Kevin. All the time.
