One of Michiel's colleagues sent me a very scary picture of him in Las Vegas, such a pity Michiel doesn't want his face on my blog. I myself have no shame as you well know. This is me posing for my friend Michele's (who joined the dear readership since she bought an iBook) camera phone. I am showing you the Business Idea of the Year; the clarinet case for the Canadian climate. Michele bought a down jacket at Loblaws and floopdeewoop, we turned it into a clarinet case warmer. My living room looks like we slaughtered a farm load of ducks. Michele you see lives on the Toronto islands, so she has to take the ferry twice a day. And her bike to which ever theatre she is performing at. And regular clarinet cases, however warm, have zippers. And the Canadian cold can easily penetrate zippers. And when the clarinet gets cold, it cracks. And when it cracks, it needs expensive repairs. And now it stays warm. Voila.
Do you have an indoor lake, or did you paint water reflections on the walls?
Wow, you are very observant. No, it is not a pool, and I didn't paint reflections. The lamp is a clear glass sphere with white paint slurs on it. Sometimes I make it spin and the room turns into a disco aquarium.
Genius.
Feeling like a mermaid?
Absolutely! Not now though, the sun is shining through the window full blast. I should clean the window. Dust and wet dog noses.
