The Inner Sea
May 10, 2005
It seems I went from looking out my back porch to the Caribbean Sea, to overlooking the immensity of Lake Superior. The fact that the temperature has dropped by about 50 degrees notwithstanding, the two bodies of water are surprisingly similar in their moods and many changing faces. Here looking out from the balcony of the apartment towards the East, as the sun bravely tries to brake through the clouds and shines on the calm mist still lingering on the surface... ...
Minneapolis Skyline
May 6, 2005
If asked a few months ago what the most unlikely places on Earth for me to visit were, I would have had to answer - not necessarily in that order - The White House, Sting Ray City, a Survivor movie set, Shanghai's Imperial Bowling Alley, and Duluth, Minnesota. Yet here I am in Minneapolis, visiting the largest mall in America and headed north towards Lake Superior. Comme quoi...
Moody technology

I must apologize to those of you who visit these premises often enough to have found them temporarily out of service. The web hosting company is going through some changes, upgrading servers and PHP and as everybody knows, such changes are rarely glitch-less. But I can assure you that it is being worked on and we hope to have everything back to normal within the shortest delays.

)arrow Everything considered, time doesn't flow much faster in Beloeil, QC, than in it did in Little Cayman, KY. This moon is rising over Mont St-Hilaire, right across the Richelieu river... R.A.S. (N.T.R.)
Back to the Future
April 13, 2005
"Mon pays, ce n'est pas un pays, c'est le printemps..." It's here. Spring is at our door. Quebec is emerging from under its heavy snowy blanket and liking what it sees. Soon, flowers will bloom and the sun will allow for great paragliding. Now that's what really matters! ;-) I haven't done much in terms of blogging since my departure from Little Cayman, mostly for technical reasons. My laziness is very technical, you see. The laptop it still out for repair, and the d...
