Wow. Must post Blogs more often. I'm getting soft...

Had a great weekend, with lots and lots of singing. Other than Sunday morning at St. Thomas's, it was all Pax Christi, a Toronto Mennonite choir directed by my friend Stephanie Martin. We performed the Dream of Gerontius by Elgar, a fabulous, lush work rarely performed in Canada (although apparently one of the 'big 4' in England after Messiah and Elijah). The choir numbered 84, we had a decent-sized orchestra and great soloists, and basically rocked. Steph did a wonderful job, and was a total pleasure to sing for.

With the dress rehearsal Friday night and performances Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, guessing that I had very little free time this weekend would be correct. Saturday day was a nice break, and I slept in (read paper in bed with cat, yay!) and played games with Dave in the afternoon. Brain reset, basically.

I've found some great web sites recently. Here are some of my favorites:
Feed magazine associated with Suck.com, but less bitchy. Good stuff.
Slashdot, a bit-head mag with articles on evil Microsoft and good Linux and the battle for freedom of music from the czars.
Kuro5hin, another techie mag with slightly better production values but less content than Slashdot.
and, of course
Sherman's Lagoon, the ongoing cartoon about a man-eating shark.
