Debating tournament and Hamilton

Went to a debating tournament in Hamilton...


we had 4 people to 2 double beds.. and the person i was beside is a blanket hog! While asleep, he kept rolling up and i would wake up cold.. and have to tug at the blankets to grab back my share. It was an interesting experience to fall alseep while anchoring the blankets on one side. The only problem was that from time to time he would suddenly roll the other way, towards me. This was a challenge since nobody really wants to be steamrolled over while sleeping - a few times I literally had to leap off the bed to avoid contact! I think we ended up last place in the tournamet, (my usual spot) but it was great fun.

Before coming back to Toronto, I visited my fried Sharam, an associate professor of electrical engineering at hamilton. We used to be roomates back at UBC where he did his doctorate. He also happens to be my first piano student! I met his lovely wife and beautiful son Koucha and (ooshi?) in their new house.. he actually is thinking of purchasing a piano there and getting his son to learn :) I guess that would make his son my piano-grandchild?
