Off to the land of the little people

In a few days I will be leaving on a business trip to Ireland. Normally this would be very exciting and a chance to see some of the wonderful places I visited a few years ago. Check out this itinerary....Leave Toronto at 6:30 at night, fly for almost 7 hours to London arriving at 6:30 am their (but... Sign in to see full entry.

Ho Ho Flinking Ho

I have always been of the opinion that Christmas was a special time for family, loved ones and friends to celebrate and spend time together. Sometimes logistics don't always allow for everyone to be together in person but they are there in spirit. The past few years it seems that this special... Sign in to see full entry.

Code im ma Nodse

Why is it that I can be healthy as a horse for the entire year and consistently find a way to allow a mean spirited virus into my system just before Christmas? I very rarely get colds or flu, even when others around me are dropping like flies. Ok, so I've had pneumonia in June before and whopping... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleepless in Seattle, only it's Toronto

So it's after midnight here, my alarm goes off at 5:30 and I am a basket case without 7 hours sleep. Hmmmm....12 minus 5 1/2 doesn't equal 7. Methinks tomorrow is going to be a bit#%h. Remedies for insomnia anyone? I've tried reading, meditating, imagining myself asleep (that was fun, in my... Sign in to see full entry.

A darn fine showing if I do say so myself

Well folks, the company party was a blast. Dame Edna was there in all her finery, complete with purple hair and florescent green stockings. We had to tell the Prez that she was a man so he wouldn't be tempted to put the moves on her. The Final Table of Poker was quite a crowd draw with the better... Sign in to see full entry.

Pocket Aces

I am going to toot my own horn here folks but what the heck, you may enjoy the story. Tomorrow is the Winter Party for my company. My group organized the party in a LasVegas theme complete with poker, blackjack, roulette and slot machines for people to play with "funny money". There will be... Sign in to see full entry.

Why do I feel so guilty?

For those who have read my posts, you'll know that my Dad has been struggling with many health issues in the past year. Recently he and my Mom moved to close to me so that our extended family could help them out. It hasn't been enough though. My Dad refuses to eat some days and although he has never...

Trains, planes and automobiles

What a fascinating journey home, and I am being TOTALLY faaa---ceee---tious! My plane left almost 5 hours late, at 1:30am Hawaii time Sunday night(or I guess it was Monday morning). I barely made the connecting flight in Vancouver (they had taken me off the passenger list since they thought I... Sign in to see full entry.

Freakin' air travel

So what is it about air travel these days? Can any carrier get their passengers out on time on a regular basis? I arrived a bit early for my flight today and learned to my great consternation that the flight had been delayed 3 HOURS! And now, it's been re-delayed another HOUR! I don't leave until...
