Oakville Jazz Fest, 2007.

12.8.07

Just got back in from a great weekend at the Oakville Jazz Fest. The Robeau and I had a relaxing time staying at the Holiday Inn Select (there was a BUNNY in the parking lot!) and I had a great time tooling around town in my new jeans (I hate that shopping makes me happy. It's awful being a cliche, isn't it?).

The Robeau played with his trio at beautiful art gallery, Andy Scott headlined at an amazing tribute to Ed Bickert and there was all kinds of other good music and food on the streets. It was a perfect way to spend the weekend. Hope you all had a good one too.

Last week I wrote about how I was too busy to post because of a plague that spread through the office at CSIS. I wasn't sick, I was just working extra hard. I was healthy, and I was going to stay that way thanks to the industrial strength anti-bacterial spray I was wielding. It had an illustration of a 1950's nurse on it, little hat and all. It said it was effective against all germs and things like TB! I was cocky. I was taking vitamin c, wearing my hat and I had the spray. And that's when it happened. I got knocked on my ass and spent the first half of this week lying on the couch, moaning and watching The View. I couldn't muster up the strength to change the channel when Rachael Ray came on. I was ILL.

I'm pretty well recovered now and have spent the weekend getting caught up on work and trying to do some fun stuff to. This afternoon I was at the Art Gallery of Ontario to see Jean Renoir's 1939 masterpiece, "Règle du jeu, La" (The Rules of the Game). Tonight is all about the delicious beef stew that the Robeau made (by request!) and the return of TV's Jack Bauer! Whoo and hoo, people!

Last night we hung out at the "Clarmitages" where young Mr. Sam proved that 7 and half months really is the cutest, most entertaining age a human can be. I fully expect him to prove me wrong once he hits 8 months. Early that day found me at the Distillery District with Trish and Zee Noixy where we enjoyed the sights and the tastes that wonderful little area has to offer.
