Finally, we are reasonable settled in our new house in Grimsby. We drove across the great Canadian wilderness and it was a wonderful trip.

Being a web developer in my "day job" I preach blogging. And here I am, no blogging for almost a year. And it has been a busy year. I have added about a dozen new facilities I have performed at and keep going back to the "regular" ones. The magic I introduced last year is going over really well, and has been a nice surprise to many people. Bonnie Jean, a singer I work with sometimes has proven to be a real gem.

We look forward to a great 2010. To all of you - have a great Holiday season.
