Let's see what I can 'Member

Lots to cover


Tuesday,February 1st - To Canadian Opera Company's production of Mozart's The Magic Flute. The voices were lovely but I was not a big fan of the staging in the first half. The play within a play wasn't really fleshed out -hard to do within the existing Libretto. It just felt too, well, staged But the hedges in the second half were great.

Wednesday, February 2nd - AGO Preview of the Blackwood exhibition. He was doing a signing and I went to meet him. I told him about the print that my parents bought back in '68,  "Island Funeral" hanging in the Guest room.  I asked him to sign the page in the  catalogue with the print and he also signed the front page - a great present for my Dad's birthday. The Curator suggested that the piece is getting hard to find. I may have something pretty amazing in my collection some day.

 Friday, February 4th - 2nd professional cake job due. For Lewis, the 2 year old son of my boss. Awesome train cake. I'm very happy with it.

Nice overview

Close of the front. Apparently Lewis was so excited by it that he "had" to grab the figure and the train and share them with his best friend. Awesome reaction!



And you can't forget the Caboose!

So after surviving work that day and having the cake survive as well. I met up with Mum for dinner and went to see "Barrymore" starring Christopher Plummer! So amazing. Two famous Canadians in one week! The show was really funny. And I should have known better but it was pretty rude and crude! So awesome. I wonder how much of the Barrymore story is the same as Mr. Plummer's? I've got to read the Bio that M&D got for me a few years back.

Enough for now. I'll catch up later or I'll never get a post done.
