While the iPad surely looks like a great device for reading books or for surfing the web from the couch, very few people outside Apple (except Stephen Colbert ) may have had a chance to use the Apple tablet first-hand.

It’s not all fun and frolic—and chocolate—around here. Aside from dealing with banks that limit access to your own money, or scratching your head when the France Telecom representative tells you that it’s going to cost you a mere €465 to keep your mobile number if you change to another one of their other phone plans (although it was a stretch to even get there; his first response was, “Yes. It is not possible”), believe it or not, there are some less-than-pastoral things about life here

This year, I am attempting to bulk up my Cross Stitch ornament collection. I have stitched hundreds of ornaments over the years, but most of them were given as gifts and only a few ended up on my tree.

Even though I was already committed to an exhibition at Greenwood Quiltery in Guelph for the same time period (april-may 2010) I said yes.
