IIDD, Aug 21st

Hi Everybody,

I just wanted to thank you for the other night, Pat and Corinne. Excellent food and company, at the Island Inn as usual. Hope Pat, that you and Kjell sorted out your differences, with regards to wine choices, so we can maintain a degree of variety with our varietal friendships.

Corinne (de l'est) and i propose you all come to my place on September 10, around 6 pm, for dinner in New West. This will be your last Saturday, i think Kjell, before you fly home with United Airlines (if they don't route you to Dubai).

As Corinne East is not that befitting a nickname Pat, you can work on a more appropriate label (as in wine label). Before you settle on the themes of her perceived absence, or avoidance, you better meet her first Pat, to form a better idea. bob

ps: Anna expired yesterday afternoon, at Kits Beach, but she experience a resurrection by day's end. All this due to the nice jewish boys
she was playing with. They are actually the Grandkids of Corinne's friend Luba. Hopefully the threesome will meet for future fun.

Hi Bob!

Thanks muchly for invitation for September 10th. As you know, we are leaving for Winnipeg, this coming Tuesday, and will be back, probably late on Friday, the 9th, as we are to attend a wedding reception on Saturday evening. That being the case, we won't be able to join you at The Nest in New West and finally have the chance to meet the elusive Corinne de l'Est.

Thanks for sending along snaps of Anna but I don't seem to be able to open them. Although labelled as jpegs they seem to be in some format for which my computer doesn't have the appropriate application.

Thanks and Cheers, Patrizio!

Hello Patrick
 
Don't envy you the mosquitoes! There awful this year. Also Happy Birthday wishes for Chloe! Hard to believe you have a child who is 35 years old!! Wow time flies.
Take care always Jo-Anne

Hi Miss Marps!

How time flies, indeed! Speaking of which, relative to my time at Curric Lab, Cora Lee and I were at a garden party, hosted by Janice and Grant Douglas, (this part has nothing to do with UBC Library, as such, but rather VPL), yesterday afternoon. Lovely affair to celebrate the wedding of their son Connor, now doing a post-doc at Freie Universität Amsterdam, and the birth of their second granddaughter, Sophia. At any rate, over the course of the happy gathering I was introduced to Garnet Grosjean and his wife, Janet Atkinson-Grosjean. As you know, Garnet is in Educational Studies, while Janet, as you may know, as well, is at the Centre for Applied Ethics. I never really knew Garnet but know Don Fisher, (mainly from swimming at UBC Aquatic Centre!), his colleague. Enjoyed chatting with both of them. Not sure if Connor did a post-doc with Garnet or Janet as simply didn't get around to that topic in conversation. I think that is the connection, but not even sure about that. Nevertheless, enjoyed asking about other mutual acquaintances.

Time to start packing! Cheers, Patrizio!
