Global TV spot
February 1, 2009
Tonight Global TV’s 16:9 aired a segment on my concert at Carnegie Hall. They came last Wednesday, which is Grace’s birthday, to do the filming. Carolyn Jarvis and camera man Geoff were a treat to work with and talk to, and I was pleased with the results tonight (I don’t know how through all my stutters and stammers i managed to come off sounding half way intelligent). After the segment aired, Alice and I did a live blog chat with some viewers and producers. If you didn’t get to see the clip, and you’d like to, you can see it on Global’s 16:9 website.
Also, last Thursday, Alice and I were proud to take our donation from Carnegie Hall down to the Victoria chapter of the BCPA (British Columbia Paraplegic Association). While we didn’t actually break even from the concert in NYC, we were still able to make a donation to both the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, as well as the BCPA.
Island Bagel

Today I had the joy of replacing the muffler on my poor over-worked car. I’ve left that chore for far too long.. As a result I’ve started calling my little Toyota “the tank”. Needless to say I wasn’t thrilled about having to take time out of my lazy Saturday morning. If there was a silver lining to this little cloud it is that I had the opportunity to visit my favourite bagel place in Duncan, Island Bagel Company. When we walked in, Laura (the owner) greeted us with a big hug and a smile and announced that breakfast was on the house! Alice, Grace, Lucy and I have just enjoyed a fabulous breakfast and generous hospitality. I took a picture standing with Laura in the cafe, but somehow it got lost on my iphone. So there is a pretend one below…
