My son, Alex, has started a new business venture, Wulfwork. He's decided to step out of the corporate world at KPMG where he was working as an auditor, and into the life of a full-time artisan. Big step to say the least, and one which I think has taken an amazing amount of courage. I am confident he will succeed in realizing this venture, and proud that he has decided to follow his passion for leatherwork, ceramics and woodwork in a bid for his own well-being.

The following is his website for this new enterprise:

The whole cabin weekend was, well, Yum, Yum!

This past weekend Gord, Dave and I spent 3 heavenly days at the cabin. It was a designated work week-end (crisis at the cabin: no fire wood!) and we all pitched together to get as much done as possible for the short time we were there. We just purchased a chain saw (for this trip!!) and the boys wanted to put it to work. This particular saw proved too limited for the our wood needs, but David and Gord managed to buck, split and stack an admirable load of fir for the cabin regardless. I spent the entire weekend heating up buckets of water in an attempt to gain back territory from the relentless warfare with our resident pack-rats. They are winning, but we made some interesting tactical moves that should set them back a bit. David cooked up a roast that Gord brought for Sunday nights dinner - and he roasted it to perfection. Heavenly!
