If your kids (or you) are into Star Wars, try this game where you have to match John William's music with each scene.
kinda fun!
coffee
I am sitting at the dip (on college) and thanks to a friends password in the hood I have a connection so I am bloggin...yeehaa!
Would you believe that a CBC person DID call and my last blog post/dream almost came true...I will spare you the details but, I am, as we "speak" (between sips) doing some research to apply for some part time work at the CBC. That would be amazing. I am sure that my experiences as a jazz artist will pay off eventually...haha (other than those huge record sales!)
btw, as usual everything I do I should thank Julie as she came home early to take care of our sick little guys. Thanks Julie (she doesn't read the blog)

chatting with my friend over coffee this morning I realised (thanks Dianna) that I don't have much time before both my boys will be in school full time.
I will need to somewhat re-invent myself by then (unless the rest of the world figures out how beautiful and exciting my original music is before then!!)
I am sure that my obsession with all kinds of art, music specialty, obsessive blog writing, large network of friends and coworkers/artists etc. could add up to some interesting part time CBC gig.
anyways, time to start thinking now. (yes, I am fishing for all those CBC people that read my blog!...any ideas?)

pondhockey
tonight I lived one of my dreams; playing pond hockey with one of my kids. It was amazing. (and it wasn't really a pond) His first time shooting the puck around while on skates. It was mostly moonlight that allowed us to see the puck and the air was crisp, the park (trinity bellwoods) was quiet and we were the only ones on the little patch of ice beside the big artificial surface that is there.
this really cool, jolly older guy named Sandy, shoveled the whole thing clear for us as we arrived. Bid us farewell and walked away. I told Dylan I thought he was a hockey angel but he didn't think so.
Sandy the hockey angel said; "who needs the NHL?" and I said; "I do."
