Today we're heading off to the Haliburton "highlands". We've got a small cottage for the week - I'll be staying until Monday and my girlfriend will be staying until the 10th or so. It's a new place on large property outside of one of the small villages that dot central-northern Ontario.

It's our first break since August of last year. I don't know where all of the time went, but it has been a fair haul.

Geoff C is coming along as well.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
