Seasons Greetings from all of us here A Softer World. We've had quite the year, haven't we? It's been a bit of a roller coaster. But there were peaks as well as valleys. For every unwanted pregnancy there was a fortuitous tumble down the stairs, and for every human trafficking police sting operation there was an incompetent handling of the evidence! Another year has come and gone, and neither of us have ruined our lives yet. We hope you're full of high proof cheer

It is the time of year when I get very excited about upcoming movies. Sherlock Holmes is the top of my list, because a) I really enjoyed Snatch by Guy Ritchie, and b) I am queer as a glass doorknob for that delightful Robert Downey Jr.

Also, I am actually a bit excited about seeing Avatar, which was not the case after I first saw the trailers. But the more I hear about it, the more interested I get. It's not first on the list, but it's on there. Has anyone seen it? What did you think?

(Also, A Single Man is so good, and you should see it if you can.)

The beguiling in Toronto now has signed copies of the new book, and the old book, and Overqualified, if you live in Toronto and were hoping to get someone a signed book!

(It is also, of course, available to order online here.)

Wow. It's been almost exactly a year to the day since I last posted. Is anyone still here? I'm sure we've all moved on to the greener pastures of Facebook and Twitter, but just thought I'd poke my head in.

Hi!!
