January 27: Playing a cad



I get into the Toronto Design week in a personal way. I meet with Justin, my long lost furniture designer. We start discussions about another piece for my living room, something that I have been designing in my mind for the last few years.


Some new research on the radio: distracted eaters tend to eat more and are less satisfied with their eating experience. This solidifies my rule: no TV, no computer, no reading during meals.


I head to the lovingly restored Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres, the only double decker theatre complex remaining in the world.


I’m am so tired that I fall asleep during a stellar performance. The snooze was certainly no fault of Christopher Plummer who reprieves his Tony award winning performance as Barrymore. This is no ‘Sound of Music’ but a drama that highlights the master actor at his craft--such a treat to see. The play, however, is not to my taste. I am not interested in the sorry life of often-drunk and womanizing John Barrymore.
