Kobe. He has since received a much needed hair cut and can now see again.

Christmas Palm. Many of these palms in my neighbourhood have already succumbed to the dreaded and deadly lethal yellowing disease. I am hoping that mine will be spared the same fate.

In Memoriam

Since hearing of the news late yesterday I have been struggling to reconcile the image of the young Michael Jackson that I grew up listening and seeing on TV to the middle aged man who tragically passed away from cardiac arrest. Through the last 2 decades in fact, I have never been able to equate the Michael from the Billie Jean and Thriller videos to the one whose images were splashed over the evening news during his legal & financial troubles. He seemed to me two separate individuals, or perhaps it was a case of me preferring to see him as that cute, immensely gifted entertainer dancing along side that pretty girl in the Thriller video. What a sad end to a tremendous and iconic talent, the only consolation is in knowing that the man may be gone but his music will surely live on.


Rest In Peace, Mr. Jackson.

Summer Reading

What will you be reading this summer? I just completed The Friday Night Knitting Club, which turned out to be one of those novels that you just can't wait to get home and read. I have just begun, The Rapture of Canaan, I hope that it will maintain my interest as it already has so far. I am longing to read Shanghai Girls, by one of my favorite authors, Lisa See.

So tell me, what's on your list????
