I went for a walk with Sophie yesterday. We followed the walking path along Eramosa river to the covered bridge, across, and then back along the other side. It was our first time on these paths.
It was cool, wet and muddy out, but also really relaxing. I started my excursion with the iPod playing fast, [...]
Halloween was yesterday. I bought a few bags of candy to give away. I made a point of giving out the good stuff –mini chocolate bars not that shitty crap candy that I always hated getting as a kid.
I was looking forward to having kids banging on my door and egging my car this year. [...]
I was awakened at 4:30am on Tuesday morning to my dogs barking and running downstairs. They don’t normally do this. In fact about the only thing that would cause them to get up like that would be someone banging on the door or perhaps someone yelling in the street.
I looked out the window and noticed [...]
I spent my day today doing laundry and wandering around the French Quarter. I had a beer sitting on the bank of the Mississippi river and then a Bloody Mary at the MRB (you can’t get Caesars in the US no matter how loudly you whine).
Noel got back from the movie set at around 8pm. [...]
Noel and I met up with Ashley, Adam, and Tom at the MRB. We had a few drinks before deciding to head to the Marigny (”13″ specifically).
After a few beverages, and some food (the Philly cheese steak po-boy is fantastic) we went off to the Saturn Bar on St. Claude (on the border of the [...]
I woke up today at 3pm, still drunk from when I went to bed at around 7:30am.
Last night a bunch of us went geocaching in the Quarter. At one point there was seven of us looking under benches and feeling through potted plants in the dark. In any other city this would probably seem a [...]
We wound up at Mimi’s for tapas yesterday. Met up with Ryan. She’s very pissed off about the state of the city and told us a story about how she met a state representative and let him have it. He asked her how her government had been failing her and she began to tell him. [...]
Just left Noel’s and I’ve bought some gas and oil.

Szczepko and I flew to LA yesterday for a business trip. The flight was delayed by an hour because the plane arrived late and they had to call paramedics to unload a passenger that had become ill during the flight.
While the plane was taxiing, a teenage girl in a seat to my right and a [...]
Last Sunday I got a phone call from a worried friend who had read in the paper that a 33-year-old man had been killed in Guelph when he crashed his black BMW while driving too fast.
This is the second time this has happened.
Apparently none of my friends would be surprised if I died in a [...]
I’m in purgatory.
I’ve secured a job in Seattle and now I’m trying to move there. It turns out that the best way for me to get there with my three dogs is to drive it (my new company is paying me very well to do this). There was a huge scramble to procure a mover [...]
My immigration paperwork arrived yesterday and I promptly loaded my belongings into my car. The last thing to put into the car was the dogs. I rolled up the windows (I have learned that cars contain dogs much more efficiently with the windows shut). One of the power windows refused to close. I knew what [...]
