Welcome to the Lisa

and Mark Homepage.

 

 

 

Lisa and Mark are very pleased to announce the birth of their son Ethan on February 17, 2001 at 1:30AM at Women's College Hospital in Toronto. He weighed 7lbs 8oz. We are all enjoying getting to know one another. See more below...

Lisa and Mark are two funky, fun, fabulous, Torontonians (ie. we live in Toronto) Mark is an Ontario lawyer. He intersperses his internet addiction (or sometimes combines the two) with his work at the law firm of Gardiner, Blumberg. Mark is very interested in the internet, Canadian and Israeli law and of course Biltong. Mark is completing an LLM (Masters of Law) part time while he works. Lisa, the far cooler of the two (who has taken a little bit of creative licence since Mark made her write this) is the leader of this dynamic duo. She hangs out in a neat archive by day, not to be confused with Archeology!!! Which is also cool but a lot dirtier. Lisa has a Master of Archival Studies from the University of Manitoba. Lisa enjoys taking cooking lessons in her spare time. She is currently studying cooking at George Brown College.
