    The adventures of artist & crew creating "Pitture Sotto Zero", a unique installation of panitings in ice at Fortezza di Fenestrelle for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin. Artist Gordon Halloran was Canada's only official representative to the Cultural Olympiad there.

    How things change in a day. My webmistress (whom I have yet to introduce and thank on this blog) has bought a restaurant in Gibsons! My soccer team, the Wild, has won its first game! A beloved member of our artistic community in Roberts Creek is gravely ill. The cubs have gone to Venice. Our last man on the crew, Patrick, is sick enough today to finally call a doctor. One bank of lights are out in the church.

    It’s Valentine’s Day, we are again up early for an interview at the forte with another journalist, Samuel Charles of Shaw Cable Network. At an empty Cafe des forcats. Yesterday it was Eva Maria from ORF, Austrian television and her crew.

    Today, Ashleigh was filmed by a crew from NBC about the fortezza, but they didn't think our link to the Olympics was strong enough to mention. Hmmm. It's Tuesday and you have to ask: Dove sono i touristi? Sestriere! Pragelato! Si! Fenestrelle? Noooh. Here are some photos from yesterday’s interview with ORF. They got some good shots, were funny and wonderful.

    So, thank you Kera McHugh. For being at the other end of the email where I ask you to post the “Who’s Who”, to upload high rez photos of the exhibit for the media page, to do whatever is required to keep us current. For reading my IN CAPITALS emails without taking offense. Good luck with the Wild Blueberry Bakery in Gibsons!

    I look at my book for tomorrow: there is nothing pencilled in! Maybe we can sleep in. I want to be somewhere warm.
