Well that describes my weekend.
Chores, babysitting for our friends and more chores, wow!
Minus 10 with the wind chill last Thursday to 14 degrees tomorrow, global warming anyone?
I sent a letter the The Toronto Star about truck safety and now they want to publish it. I have to get permission from my Transportation company first to use their name, but that shouldn't be a problem. I wrote them in a positive light after all. I will keep everyone informed about my new found writing ability.
Now I'm off to watch the end of the Leaf game!

Time to myself
My wife and son are at a play this evening, so I get some time to myself.
What to do?
Write a blog!
Well mere moments before I sit down at the computer, I did about an hour worth of chores. I love that type of time to myself. And my damn Leafs are already behind 3 to nothing.
At least I won't be staying up late to watch the game.
Tomorrow we're supposed to get our first winter storm. Up to 15 centimetres which is alot for this area this time of year.
I don't mind winter, but it really sucks to work in it. Thursday has the potential to be a really long day. I'm tired thinking about it.
We haven't found a new vacation spot as of yet, but we're still looking. Cuba looks like a possibility. I really don't want to go there if I had any choice but the beach there is nice and it will be warm. Cheap, cheap, cheap is the reason.

just busy
9 days since my last blog and this one will be short.
I hadn't even checked my e-mail since last Thursday, which for me is unusual.
Last week was my birthday and I feel old. Awwwwww.......
Got a ipod shuffle, cool little thing and now I have to re-claim it from my 11 year old.
On a diet lately, lost around 17 pounds, about 8 more to go.
Have to look good whenever I go down south.
Actually my knees and back feel better.
Saw the Harry Potter movie on the weekend. Pretty good, especially for the 11 year old.
Going to bed.
I'm going to catch up on my blog reading later in the week and I'll write a nice long, rambling blog about essentially nothing, which is what I seem to be good at!

Sick Saturday
I've haven't been feeling well all week, a cold and touch of the flu. Why on a Saturday? Anyways I'll get over it.
Yesterday we received free tickets to the Toronto Raptors game. 10 rows up from the floor, and they cost $272.00 for the pair. Freebies, because who in their right mind would pay that much cash to watch a horrible team?
Earlier this week, I was coming home a 6pm down our local, kind of busy road. It was dark and when I turned to go on this road, a great big bloody deer ran in front of me.
I slammed the brakes on and just missed it. This buck stopped and looked and then ran off into the orchard to the left.
I went slowly down the street, heart pounding like hell and about 300 metres down the road, he ran out again in front of me. I missed him again.
Yesterday when I came home in daylight, I saw him grazing about 50 metres from the road.
This buck is not shy!
Because I'm sick, I'm only doing chores that won't tire me out. Which is not bad, but boring.
Tonight the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs are on tv. Guess where I'll be a 7pm?

Ohhhhhh.......
That's the sound of me sitting down after going non-stop for too long.
The jack and jill was nice and we had a good time.
Just before my wife and I walked in, she mentioned that we might not know many people there. The first person we saw at the door was a college teacher of mine from 1988.
She remembered me as I was a good student and out spoken at the time.
She was telling me that this teacher who I didn't take any s t from died a couple years ago.
The guy who died was this big Austrian man who physically tried t
o intimidate his students. He'd grabbed by the collar or threaten with poor marks if he didn't get his ways.
One time I was in an economics class at 8am and I put my head on the desk, resting my eyes, but wide awake. He threw his keys at me, I caught them and I took them to the Dean.
Others were scared, but I was a mature student who was also as big as himself.
He once was charged with road rage incident and he always would talk about it, thinking that people would be scared or impressed.
Anyways there is more stories that I could tell, but that's for another blog.
I feel for his kids, but a jerk is a jerk, dead or alive.
Anyways this teacher I saw there knew the bride, as I, and several others who were there. It was nice to see her!
The party itself was pretty good, but the groom looked like a deer in the headlights. At 24 and a decade younger than his bride, I think he maybe over his head. I hope their marriage is a long and happy one!

Day off
I took today off with the kid today.
He had to go to the doctor's and I had to get blood work done, so I booked the day off to hang as well.
I needed a day of rest as the weekend looks anything but...
First of all my mil's hubby's mother died this week, she was almost 90. Cancer took her and she died peacefully with 3 of her daughters at her side, at home. Her funeral is tomorrow in Fenelon Falls which is 1 hour and 20 minutes away from here.
Then we go to a party in the evening back here.
Sunday we are going to the travel show, I think by the Toronto airport.
Somewhere in there I want to put my son's room back together. My wife wants to shampoo the carpet first and mil owns one but they are not there for us to get it.
Anyways, I want to talk about something different.
This party we are going to is called a jack and jill. Some call it a buck and doe, stag and stagette, etc.....
Anyways this person getting married is a friend of my sil, age about 34, I think. This is her third kick at the married can.
My question, why?
One about the party and two about the marriage.
After two times I personally think that I would never do it again. For some marriage doesn't work, no matter what.
I like this lady, enough to go to her party, but why more celebration?
I may be cynical, but do we go to her 4th jack and jill 6 years down the line.
This lady is really good looking, always has been. From my sil I've known her for amost 20 years, when she was a teenager.
Anyone of my male friends who has seen her can't believe how hot she is. It seems that any of her ex'es always seems to be not good looking being beside her.
Now she is in her mid thirties and new hubby to be is younger then her. He doesn't even look like he is in mid twenties, actually like just out of high school. For the first time I ever seen her with guys, she actually looks old to me, because of him.
Getting back to marriage, I've known so many bitter peopls from it, I'm still surprised some are still getting hitched.
I still wish them happy lives, but.......

Halloween
A belated happy halloween.
My son was a mean clown and he scored tons of candy.
Last year it took him months to eat the crap. We actually threw some out and we expect to do the same this time around.
This year was the first time that my son went without us, of course freaking my wife out.
He went with 3 buddies and everything was good.
