“Bond… Ronald Bond”

Since high school, I have been a James Bond fan. Think about it – the fast cars and fast women, gadgets and derring-do – obviously he is my alter ego! And somehow the tux and black tie just seems to be James’ second skin. So the Canadian Ball last Saturday was my chance to have a custom made tux and sport my Bond style. Brenda unwittingly played into my fantasy by having a silk qipao made. Now I probably won’t survive calling her a Bond girl, but she did look smashing! And this is my blog and my fantasy!

The Ball itself was great – good food, good company (every teacher from our school went as our employer payed half the ticket), good drink (Moosehead, Canadian wines and cranberry vodka shooters at an all night open bar) and good music (two different bands). So as you might imagine it was a long and merry evening. I did manage to get up and play golf the next morning but it wasn’t my best round in China.
