Kitchen Reno – “After”




Kitchen Reno – "After"

Originally uploaded by rgdaniel

Finally finally finally, we have our kitchen. Progress seemed to happen in spurts, with longer periods of inactivity. Ovrerall though, we are quite satisfied with both the products and the services. Thanks are due (along with our bill) to Van Dolder’s for “intelligent design” and to our long-suffering but fast-working contractor, John Marriage (JSM Contracting). Of course now we can’t afford to buy food, but at least it looks nice… (This is a panorama stitched from 4 separate shots.)

Here is the “before” picture.

Seems like not only regular schmucks have Flickr accounts — unless you consider presidential hopeful Barack Obama to be a regular schmuck. While most of the photos appear to be OF him, rather than BY him, they do appear to represent an authentic, official and authorized photo-blog of the campaign. No word on whether Hillary has an account.

Tel Quel are swell

When you move to Owen Sound from Toronto, you can be forgiven for thinking it’s going to be all country music from here on. But no. There’s a swirly psychedelic light at the end of the time tunnel, and its name is Tel Quel. Computerist Joshua Richardson and invited artists including Adam Reese, Patrick Dorfman, Graham Dorfman, and Scott Farmer, along with poi-spinners The Whirling Divas, and a most talented belly dancer named Shawna Banville, gave us a very enjoyable evening of music and movement and light.
