and away we go

So, how are you spending your long weekend? Me, I’m in one of my favourite places to be on the weekend – Pearson airport in Toronto. I found out on Wednesday my long weekend was going to be cancelled, and that I’d be spending a week across the pond helping a client with a mis-behaving […]

happy birthday, sue!

A very happy 29th to Sue on this day. Thanks for putting up with dad as much as you do, we really should probably get you a bottle of whisky for that. I wonder if there’s any place I can get some when I’m across the pond? Enjoy the day, and make sure that guy […]

donkey!

4037 You know, it’s so cool when something arrives in the mail that is completely unexpected. I was thinking that Tierney would be getting something frilly on account of A Moveable Feast, but that was not the plan. This little fella arrived in my mailbox, along with an explanation that there was no pun intended. […]

*ahem*

So… umm… San Jose? I hate to stoop to this level, especially since I’m 0-4, but what the hell. To all you boo-birds in the land of eBay, y’all can go fuck off and die now. Go Oilers!

urk

Nothing like shaking up the week by finding out you’re going to be in London (no, not Ontario) for a couple weeks. It’s actually kinda cool – I’ve been to London more than ten times, and have never really played tourist. This time I’ll bring my camera, and make sure I devote the weekend to […]

0 for 3.5

With Edmonton winning last night’s game, I am on the verge of not picking the winner in every single playoff series of the second round. I didn’t think Anaheim or Carolina were that good, I should’ve known better with Ottawa, and we’ll see if Edmonton’s got the grit to finish it off at what is […]

finish the fight… next year… maybe

4035 Bungie’s finally got around to announcing Halo 3, which is probably about the only reason I can think of at this point of wanting an Xbox 360 over a Wii (no, Sony doesn’t even bear cosideration at this point). Thankfully, the game won’t come out until 2007, which probably means sometime in 2008 (if […]

Gosh, I’m really sorry to hear about how upset the pilots are that they’re subjected to the same indignities as the people who punch their meal ticket. God knows, I’ve never felt that way. The association says it has received “complaints from pilots who are finding the screening process increasingly annoying, often demeaning and in […]

sometimes, i actually like toronto

While getting out of the cab upon returning from a client meeting today, a gentleman on the street walked up to me and said “I love you, man”. I replied “Why thank you, I love you, too.”. With that, he finished the exchange with “Well you’ve got a pretty shitty way of showing it. Now […]

it’s my party…

…so today is the start of something that I’m not sure I can finish. I’m going to try, but I dunno how well it’s going to go. There’s that old saying “A fool and his money are soon parted.” I have lived and breathed this as mantra, although I occasionally changed it to “A fool […]
