Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is really very good I thought. I polished it off over the weekend. However, as Tom Wright says, it's lousy history. There's going to be a program on this Thursday called "the Real Da Vinci Code". Shall be interested in what's said there...

Canada

Was told by the boss that a trip to Canada is on the cards! Might be going for 2-3 weeks. Very excited and already getting far too carried away. I'm planning a trip to Niagara Falls, have got to fit in a bit of skiing of course, maybe also pop down to US for a weekend and wander around, catch a baseball game... try to get a ticket to Playbill (Billy Crystal's show on Broadway at the moment that David Letterman was going on about last week). Remember Billy Crystal? He was the guy in that film ~~When Harry Met Nazi~~ When Harry Met Sally.
