Belated Photo of the Weekend: The Best Seat in the House
A tender and touching moment (literally) from Regina Lyric Light Opera‘s production of Candide over the weekend, as I, playing the Governor, make my feelings known to Maximillian (played by Jeff Sawatsky), convinced as I am at this moment that he is a girl.

Alien spaceships in northern Saskatchewan?
As a teenager I was quite Mulderish regarding the spaceshippiness of UFOs, but the older I get, the more skeptical I get.

Another Slightly Belated Photo of the Day: Lilacs
Too busy getting ready for opening night of Candide to do much blogging today.
