Aaaah, Billy Connolly...Warning, multiple uses of the F word.

The documentary that the clip comes from isn't that great, but Billy rocks. I would love to see him live again someday.


Heh heh.

Oh, and by the way, Holly is going to be a big sister in about 9 months.

I tell ya, if I ever catch the guy responsible for all this...

Last spring, after waiting in a passport lineup to finalize everything, I went to the food court at Canada Place for breakfast, and got a darn good meal of bacon and eggs from the Chinese food place, with the menu obviously adapted for breakfast.

Last week, while spending a day at Alberta College, I got there early to get a place to park, and walked over to Scotia Place to see if I could find a similarly good breakfast from a place you might least expect it.

The food court kiosk that I found- Chicken For Lunch. And yes, I did have a very good, very inexpensive bacon and egg breakfast there.

But, the best part about it, was this sign..

What's up this week? Let's see..just got word I am changing positions at work..no raise to start, but higher potential pay down the road.

I'm going to California in October to see They Might Be Giants, air-miles funded, mostly. I'm excited, I've wanted to see their live show forever, and if the last 15 years are any indication, they ain't never coming here. My choices were Vancouver or Anaheim, and the Vancouver date would have required several days off from work in September, not something I wanted to ask for. One or two days in October, that was do-able. Plus, what else is located in Anaheim, California that I could do when I am not at the show? Hmm?

Argyll is settling in better. Not as much hissing and screaming as there was last week.

Oh yeah, and I am excited that Heroes starts Sept 24!!

So, a few new things...



This is Argyll..Allison almost ran over her on her way home from work at 4:30AM last week. She couldn't leave her there on a busy semi-residential, semi-industrial road, so she came home as a houseguest. No microchip or tattoo, no luck on a city pound online registry..so I guess we are back up to 9. Argyll (named for her location, Argyll Road) is about 4-5 months old..rail thin..pretty cute.

And..guess what else we got?


Now we are only ONE component short of a James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub Party!

My bro in Waterloo will be SO jealous..:) Hey D! When are you coming to visit? Or should I call you Anonymous?
