It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. It seems I’m too busy to write anything useful. Lots has happened in the last little while: I’ve joined a new bagpipe band (Toronto Police Grade III), we bought a new car, and we’ve recently returned from a wonderful vacation/honeymoon.
I’m in the process of uploading some pics from the honeymoon, but it’s going to take a while, at last count we had something like 1000 photos to go through!
