Skied at Mont Sutton for the past couple of days, beautiful glades and old-school charm. Spring brings a first trip to Halifax and a return to NYC...

South London comes to Montreal... Adele

But, what's with the Ladybirds?!...

With Winter officially over, we are now "spring" skiing - and had a wonderful start at Sutton, 1.5 hrs east of montreal with a weekend of beautiful glades and deep powder thanks to a snowfall the night before. The chalet was close by, making it easy to run home to friends, tiaras, disco ball, bubbles and the unforgettable meals and baked goods :-)
Thanks for another great rendez-vous...

Déja Vu...

Le Ring - excellent film from Québec by director Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, also won a Jutra for best music. The young actor who plays Jessy, the main character is brilliant.

The Gates - saw this as part of this year's FIFA...interesting history, production and development of Christo's The Gates project in NY's Central park.

My Kid Could Paint That - a discussion of modern art, perception, ignorance and pride. and the kid has nothing to do with any of it, just paints.

Skied at Lake Placid last week - stunning landscape, high vertical, but tougher runs and yes, it lived up to it's nickname, 'iceface' from time to time.

Hot milk indeed.....and MOBY!

It's my fault, I know, for frequenting Starbucks. Got a gift card and have been having a latte daily until the $$ runs out. Which will be soon because as we know SB is WAY overpriced. Today's coffee delivered something rather disturbing along with the price:

1. "The Way I see It" 294

2. On the battlefield of ideas, winning requires moving toward the sound of the guns.
– Newt Gingrich (Former Speaker of the House of Representatives)

3. Relating to point 1 - Starbuck's puts a big fat disclaimer that the opinions expressed are those of the author and not SB.

WHAT? First I laughed at the "ideas" and "guns" and "battlefield"..it was all a bit surreal. Then, I read the disclaimer and thought if SB is so innovative, what are they afraid of? And finally, just got tired of everything trying to be edgy AND safe.

*sigh*

On the flip side, fun event at the SAT this week

Miami was interesting, hot and humid and a good mix of work and play. Play was a weekend of beach, drinks, art opening, contemporary dance (Your Blood, My Blood), more drinks and a long walk on the beach to end the weekend. After that, headed to downtown Miami to speak at Marketing Sherpa's email summit and listen to case studies for two days. Very good topics, interesting and engaged people from NA and Europe.

Haven't been home for awhile so I can only mention Robin des Bois has moved into a new location, much bigger, longer hours and looks great. Well worth a visit.

In South beach ate at Tantra - that manages to party hard on Monday nights, self-described as "sensual, exotic, opulent, sexy, primal" - saddly the food wasn't :-)
