Life is Good

Tonight, I finished the last exam of the last course for the certificate program I was taking. I am finished.

I come home, and there is Cold Magics, fresh off the presses, just waiting for the book launch at Ad Astra.

I am relaxing, sipping Scotch and wondering what to do with all the free time...

Life is good.

Young Artists for Haiti

Time has passed since the earthquake in Haiti. Not much, but enough that it has fallen off the news. Despite that there are still people who need a lot of help there.

Young Artists for Haiti is a group of talented Canadian Musicians who have re-recorded K'naan's single "Waving Flag" (best know as the 2010 World Cup theme) with all proceeds from the sale of the single going to three charities working on the ground in Haiti.

Here is their facebook page.

Here is the single on CBC.

Here is the single on You Tube.

Here is their donation page.

If you can afford to help, please do.

And please spread the word.

The Book Thief

It is 12:10 a.m. I have to be up in less than 5 hours.

I could have been asleep at 10:30, but I was reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

The best books are the ones that you keep reading. Even though you should be working, even though you should be paying attention to other things. Even though you should be sleeping.

The Book Thief is a very good book.
