We've had another bout of -40º weather; tomorrow is supposed to be -6º. I am euphoric with the concept of not wearing 4 layers to work! Mike is trying hard to write his paper for his German professor and cast his next show. The two have not been compatible. We'll keep you posted on the show...Terry in Slovenia wanted to know what our house looked like from the outside: here you go, Ter. And thanks for getting us thoroughly addicted to Battlestar Galactica (I seriously am grateful)!
We continue to enjoy our Christmas tree (we keep it up until the end of January), cringe at the heating bills and cook weird things. Both the weather and Mike's studies have helped to create a rather introverted household. It's for a season, and we can live with that.


Mary Pat (also known as "The Last Great Hope" for Theatre & Company, when she bravely attempted to be general manager back in 2001-03) was in town briefly and we managed to see her, in spite of the fact that she'd had 1.5 hours of sleep. Here we are at the Bistro Praha. I'm adjusting to work at the University of Alberta - some of the fun parts have begun, including listening to Danielle Peers speak at an event that we hosted. Danielle is a member of Canada's Olympic Basketball team (wheelchair olympics) and she is truly inspiring (daniellepeers.com/).
The cats are all fine - although Abe needs a thorough de-matting. Stay warm, be safe, have faith.
