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 platform.<\/p>\n

So, I got up this morning at 04:15 after not being able to get to sleep until after midnight, and feel like a truck hit me. Axe<\/a> is going to be in town at the same time, so there’s a better than average chance I’ll have someone to go for a beer with while I’m there. I might also have the chance to bug UK while I’m there.<\/p>\n

Right now I’m sitting in the lounge in Pearson, so it’s not a bad deal. They put on a continental breakfast, so a bit of yogurt and some dirty water and I feel a little better. There’s a lady who reminds of Dr. Ruth, a super cute baby who smiles and says “Mmmmmmmm!” after every bite of food, and a guy who has put back four cans of drinks in the last 20 minutes – not exactly what I’d recommend as a pre-flight ritual. It’s fun to people watch.<\/p>\n

In any event, off I go. More miles, and hopefully I’ll have some time to look around. I’m staying close to Charing Cross, so I should be able to get out a little and see some sights in the evening, provided BadThings(tm) don’t make for some long days. My long weekend and sleep will have to wait.<\/p>\n

Onward, to the land where curried chicken sammiches is king (at least, until the Queen moves on, although the sammich may be a better choice than chuckles)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
