has issued a snowfall warning for my area, 10-20 cm (4-8" overnight and tomorrow. First snow of the year and I can't wait!! I think I will keep the kids home if we do get as much as they say, even though I will probably regret it. I have to celebrate the first snow of the season!!
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

I survived my hike, I got to the top of the hill and saw the curvature of the earth. Cap I did get a burner but I had to go out to the garden centre behind all the christmas decorations to find it.
It was a long walk up there but I made it!! I recovered in sporting goods where I asked a trainee where the bbq burners might be. I was shown every make and model of camp stove known to man and no matter how hard I tried to make him understand gas bbq he wasn't getting it.
I finally found someone who had worked there for more than 10 mins who knew to send me out to garden supplies (yes in Canada in Nov) that is where they hide the bbq parts.
Paid for it and took off for the hike home. I enjoyed the view of the lake for all of 22 seconds before I decided I needed a smoke, that sorta passed the time. My socks decided they were going to move into positions designed for torture five mins into the walk. Five more mins later my bladder decided it would be fun to jump on the torture wagon. Roughly half way home my back decided to tie itself in knots and my nose thought it might be fun to do the allergy dance. The entire time my brain was fighting with my body yelling at it saying "you used to walk double this distance daily!!" A few mins from home my feet decided death by creamation was the way to go and were burning like mad.
I made it in the door sat down just long enough to rip open the burner package, assemble the necessary tools and start to read the instructions. Needless to say everything rebelled and nothing was making sense. I packed it all up and it is sitting on the dinningroom table.
The beer was cold when I got back and I have indulged but I have to say I really do miss a good work out. How the hell did I become a couch potato after so many years of 6 and 7 hrs daily dancing?
Disgusted and desperatly needing motivation to get back in shape,

but its such a nice day out and I really want to get a new burner for my bbq today. So I'm gonna take a hike up to Canadian Tire, it doesn't look all that far when you are driving and it is down hill all the way home.
Well if nothing else the beer will be cold by the time I get back.
Prolly too energetic for my own good,
ju

been blogging much lately but that doesn't mean there is nothing going on, it just means I don't feel like talking about it at the moment.
I have been applying for jobs, it would be nice if someone, anyone would call for an interview. I know once I get to that stage I can wow em, not so much with a resume with a gap of 15 years since my last job.
Send me a few good vibes if you have any left,
ju

is going about a hundred billion miles an hr.
I will let you know when the vortex spews some coherant thoughts.
Until then,
cheers!!

When I win the lottery I'm gonna get one of these to drive around town in.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-191
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.


Remebering all who have fought to give me the life I enjoy today and all who continue to fight.

Thank you.
humble,
ju

life is too much like work.
Other times you are lucky enough to have ppl surrounding you that make it seem less so.
Thank you two,
you really are,
priceless,

Does serve a purpose, for me anyway. The beauty of fall is gone. The the days are getting noticably shorter. The weather is mostly grey, rainy and chilly.
November is that bleak gap in the year that will make me grateful for the beauty of the snow that will transform the dead grey nothingness into a wonderland. The lack of light during this month will allow me to appreciate the mind numbing cold that will bring me sun.
I am not good at November but know it too shall pass.

nothing what so ever to say.
I just wanted to see my name on the list
