Hello everyone from rainy Montreal. Ghislain is off to Quebec City and Chicoutimi again. He’ll be home on Thursday, and he probably won’t have to go so far again for awhile. Today we took the metro to the Atwater market and ate sushi. Then we hung out at the Atwater library. Morgane liked the children’s part – especially the jungle rug. She enjoyed the outing and fell asleep in the middle of staring at everybody on the metro coming home. I practiced going up and down the escalator with the stroller to get the hang of it.

Just finished reading “The Life of Pi” this morning which EVERYBODY seemed to be recommending. I will try to listen to Canada Reads on CBC tonight to see whether it is chosen as the Canadian book everyone should read. I found some parts very distasteful, but am glad that I read it. It’s something to think about.

Blueprints is out and I have my very own 5 copies right here. Even though the words are the same as the ones on the proofs, they seem so different now that the book is all glossy and bound together. The website which I worked mostly worked on should be up soon as well.

Yesterday was so hot in Montreal that after our Easter brunch (with all of Ghis’s family here and Amelie & Martin), we put Morgane’s sun hat on and walked to the park. The dogs looked like they would melt. Carmanah’s fur is starting to stick out and it’s great fun to pull clumps out at the park, but less fun to vacuum every day at home.

Congratulations to Martine and Denis and Rosalie on their brand new baby boy!

That’s all the news. I am going to relax and see what I can start reading now.
