Between Travels

I am back in Toronto after my first trip ever to the Caribbean, an absolute dream for a week of family holiday. Never have I seen my daughter happier.

Today was and tomorrow will be a full day in the office, trying to get my correspondence under control and catching up with my collaborators. Saturday will be family day and on Sunday I will be off on another trip, first to New York City where I will be a judge for the Finals of the Met's National Council Auditions, and then to Europe with the ambitious goal of going to six cities in seven days. I will spend more time on airplanes than ever, but there will also be a lot to tell you.

Stay tuned for my upcoming travel diary.

In any case, I much preferred the snow at the end of last week to yesterday's and today's indescribably uncomfortable drizzly rain. It's December. Snow, please!
