Hudson Part II – Saying Goodbye and Letting Go
My first post about Hudson the polar bear cub received a lot of attention – in a great way! Thanks so much to everyone who read and commented and otherwise showed their support for me, and affection for the bear. Knowing that the story touched so many people definitely helped to take some of…
Patch Town Set Visit
In a destitute looking corner of Toronto (though it’s actually only about two blocks from my own apartment) a battered grey factory building stands defiant, imposing itself against the chilling winter wind. Inside it, however, a fantastic world is springing to life. A world that was first imagined by Craig Goodwill in his imaginative…
Got It, Need It, Got It…

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Soundtrack (2012) -Howard Shore
One thing I constantly said about the Star Wars prequels as they came along… Even if they aren’t great, it’ll give me new music by John Williams. After Williams, and his countless scores that seem to be the soundtrack of my life, Howard Shore’s scores for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are perhaps some…
