Hey there everybody … I’m currently in a concrete bunker out in Waterloo, learning all about LiveLink … woo hoo …

And it’s my birthday …

So … what’s been going on as of late? Well that darling sweet lady of mine got a bunch of people together and they threw in to grab me an iPod … she made sure to get the BLACK one too … God I love her … that and she took me out to see Harry Potter on Saturday night … so I got spoiled twice in essence …

Aside from that not much else is going on … Kristy came town last weekend … she’s off onto another trip … this time she’s hooked up with Disney and is heading off on their cruise line … which is really great for her … and possibly means discounts for friends and family … I think I might get to go see Buzz again real soon … : )

Shari is doing pretty good … she’s got a lot on her plate as she’s just completed her first full week as Asst. Manager … she’s going through SOME withdrawl pains as she misses the kids terribly … but we’ll get her into school and back to seeing them soon enough, won’t we?

Gotta fly … gotta go learn some stuff here …

Sooo … I just got back from a trip out to Calgary … on which I had a bit of free time … so instead of going around and sightseeing … (if you’ve seen one cow, you’ve seen ‘em all) … I decided to poke around the ol’ web box and see what kinda crap I had floating around …

OH

MY

GOD

I apparently had a little too much time on my hands … but it’s kinda funny to look back at some of those old picture … what’s that? Those are only five years old? errrr … whoops …

BTW – For my fellow geeks out there … in that UT site? I can’t believe I built that thing outta frames and tables … especially the tournament bracket …

Hey there everybody … figured I’d take the time and put up a post …

Over the weekend Shari and I had out Halloween party … tons of fun … Shar managed to pull off a fantastic costume in the 11th hour … posted a couple of pics for your enjoyment …

Soooo … next week is Dad’s birthday … this weekend is a trip out to Calgary to do an upgrade … weekend after is Dad’s actual birthday party … week after that I’m in training out in Waterloo … they cancelled the concert I wanted to go to on the 15th … is everyone keeping up here? Point being, it’s going to be a busy busy busy month for me …

Yeah yeah yeah … someone peed in my cheerios … I know …

I hope you all had a good turkey bird weekend … the dinner at my house was actually quite pleasant … spent it with Shari’s immediate family, and Shari and her mom made dinner … quite nice …

No … what has me in a pissy mood is my Dolphins losing to the hated Bills … my Leafs having lost TWO shootouts to the hated Sens, and then dropping a game to Habs … servers not cooperating this morning … people being pissy about it and being ‘up in mah grill’ … I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again … this would be a great job if it weren’t for the f**king clients …

And the scarcity of the posts has been because I’ve been busy busting my ass off trying to get some other sites up and running … specifically some pools for the work crew and for Shari …

Amazing Race Pool

Survivor Pool

Shari’s Survivor Pool

So yeah … those have been keeping me busy … and they’re still not totally working yet either … oh well … time to get back to the salt mines …

However … Stevie had yet to put up the railings … so you were good as long as you weren’t near an edge … or that you needed to get down because he hadn’t finished all the stairs either … **sigh**

As always, it makes me feel good to see the boys. It’s been several months since I’ve seen them last, and that’s due to nothing more than hectic timetables. This trip was especially good since the group got to meet Shari … and as expected she went over like gangbusters … this was probably due in some small part to the fact that she has no problem joining in on the verbal harrasment that seems to be directed my way at every one of these events … ahhhhh … Windsor …

Shari and I had a couple of good chats too going back and forth on the 401 … it makes me happy to know that the two of us can communicate openly and, for the most part, keep our cool and not get too irate with each other. I guess because of that it looks like we’ll be able to take all kinds of road trips together … now … all we need is someone to take care of the dog … any takers?

Good morning to everybody … all three of you …

Yes yes yes … I’m trying to be dilligent again and start posting. So what do I want to talk about today? Well, there’s a couple of things … last night I got back into my video editing and actually compiled my first DVD. I don’t mean just dumping files onto a DVD, no … I mean I actually built a rudimentary, menu driven video disc which could be played in a set top DVD player. Someone cue the fanfare, because I think I need a little … heh heh heh …

The other thing I have to verbalize is about Lindros coming to the Leafs … I mean, sure the guy was a big marquee player … but that’s just the thing, he WAS … before the bajillion concussions and all of the contract whinning … Will he have an impact on the Leafs … of course … as long as he can remain humble, and prove his worth rather than talk about it … I’m not getting my parade shoes ready thou, because I don’t think he’s the key to a Stanley Cup celebration on Yonge St …

Alrighty … I’m going to turn my focus back to the rainy day outside the train … heading to Windsor this weekend to christen Stevie’s brand new deck … he wants to test it to make sure it can actually hold people … he says he built it himself … **shudder**

Well … since either the Apocolypse is coming or Hell has frozen over, it must be time for me to finally make another post on my site … what sign has lead me to believe that either or of these two catasrophes is coming to pass? Eric Lindros has just signed with the Leafs … and I can honestly say I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad about that …

So what’s been up with me? Well Shari and I have now been living together for just over two months. Amazingly, we’re actually getting better at it … the first couple of weeks were kinda rough as we basically were doing crash courses on each other’s living habits … but now that things have settles down, we’re doing great!

We just got back from spending two night in Sandusky Ohio at Cedar Point. Those of you who know me are aware that I am slightly fanatical about that place. It was my first opportunity to try several of their new rides … but I was NOT willing to wait two hours at the end of the day for Millenium Force … nuh un, not happening. I’ll try and post photos and maybe even video of our little excursion … the highlight of the trip for Shari? Finding out that they sold cheese on a stick … that’s my girl …

Life hasn’t been all about roller coasters and dairy products thou … I personally have been getting reacquainted with what it takes to care for a pet … and understandbly I have fallen for that great big bundle of hair … Freedom is sooooooo sweet … I’m barely even gagging when I’ve got to pick up her poop and everything …

In two weeks, Katie is getting married … dayam … I really do like Lee and I am so happy for Katie … however trying to find the right wedding gift is a bit of a pain in the arse … with that happening at the end of the month, things are going to be incredibly busy for me this month … Shari wants to try and cram as much as possible into the next few weeks, as she then has to go back to school … to say that she is underwhelmed about that would be an understatement …

Ummmmm … that’s about it for now … later y’all …

Heya kids … I know I haven’t posted anything in a while … Shari and I have been spending a lot of time together and as such I haven’t been on the computer a whole lot … and when I have … I’ve been playing Guild Wars …

Anyway … the server is going to be shut down and transported either tonight or tomorrow … so for the two of you who might actually be reading this … it’ll be back … soon enough …

Hey there world!

Trying something new today … I’m in the middle of a zag on a zig-zag course back and forth across the country … was in Winnipeg last week, and this week I’m on the East Coast … and I’m actually writing this post from Halifax International Airport. This is my first time using a public hot spot … I feel so naked …

So what’s up with me? Not a helluva lot … this zag is the middle stop on a trip which will take me back across to Saskatoon and Regina … these trips aren’t as much fun as previous trips … not enough time to see the sights … Shari and I are doing GREAT … pssst … don’t tell anyone … but we’re in LOOOOOVVVEEEE …

Errr … I think that’s about it … gotta sign off … boarding call is coming soon …

OK OK OK … no posts … I am sorry for that but I can be a bit of a busy boy …

Yes … a lot of my time has been tied up with Shari … I have to say it just feels soooooo good to have someone back in my life … she makes me smile … and that is such a simple thing AND an important thing all at the same time …

But … I’ve also been playing Anarchy Online … ever since they’ve made it a free download and NO subscription … hey, who can argue with that? Sure … the expansion packs are still gonna cost you … but I think most of my loyal readers know how much I enjoy playing something for free …

Sooo … if you are feeling like giving a MMORPG a try and you want someone to party with … drop me a line … we’ll go kill some rats together …
