A happy New Year to everyone! Hard to believe it's 2004 already, and the vacation time is almost over... It's been a wonderful and relaxing holiday! Highlights included visits from Anne's parents, having my sister to stay for a few days, seeing the ROM's excellent Art Deco show, and lots and lots of video games... Santa brought me an XBox so I've finally descended to the depths of console play. It's not too bad, actually... Anne and I are having great fun playing Top Spin (a tennis game) and I've devoted numerous hours to Knights of the Old Republic (a really cool Star Wars role playing game).

We've substantially finished setting up the house now... Big milestones passed successfully included getting a shed built in the back yard by the wonderful team Ron & Don, getting closet organizer people to come in so we can actually hang stuff in the closets (yay!), getting a big storage thingy for the office, and taking yet another car load of stuff to Goodwill. (Six or seven carloads in total so far!) We have yet to take some of the furniture to Georgetown for longterm storage, and clean up the basement so we can (finally) start looking for tenants.

It's going to be a really busy couple of months coming up. Exultate's holding our annual fundraiser on March 6th (please please plan on coming) and I've got a couple of projects to manage to conclusion at the same time. Plus we're moving ahead with the wedding planning (June 19th in case you haven't heard yet).

I feel tired already!
