AD&D Player's Handbook

Continuing gradually unpack some of the boxes from the storage locker this past weekend, and came across the item above: my Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook by Gary Gygax, back from when I played D&D in university. A survey: how many of you out there had or have this book? If so, what was your first roleplaying character? My first character: a wimpy magic user called Rowena, in a campaign run by Tom West.

Canadian Opera House CDCanadian Opera House

I forgot to mention yesterday that everyone who visited the new Toronto opera house yesterday received a goody bag that contained, among other things, a CD of operatic excerpts from Faust (Gounod), Luisa Miller (Verdi), Elektra (Strauss), La Traviata (Verdi), and Cosi fan tutte (Mozart). I've been listening to it a bit and y'know, even though I'm still not a huge opera fan there were some pieces in there I actually didn't mind so much and might even enjoy if they were performed live.

Jeff and I attended the annual neighbourhood barbecue and picnic yesterday. When we attended last year, we had only recently gotten possession of the house and hadn't moved in yet. I enjoyed myself last year but even more so this year; we have some pretty cool neighbours. :-)

Girl runner and dog

Thanks to Bruce Adelsohn for telling me about the John Howe talk tonight at Bravo! in Toronto. Allison and I are going to be attending; I'm really looking forward to it.
