Experiencing technical difficulties...

I seem to be having trouble with my pictures from the weekend.  For some reason, I receive errors when I try to view them on the computer or camera.  This isn't a good sign.  Some pictures do come through, some of which are below.

Hopefully I'm able to resurrect the others including the videos I took...

More to come (hopefully).

I'm not sure this needs a caption,
but without one this is the lone picture out

Friday night

So apparently I do have fans, people are reading my blog.  I wasn't sure, there were a few days where I could see that no one had read anything...

Today was fairly routine - at work until 7, home and make supper.  Talk to Gwen and then laundry.  (See post "Hmm... (New)").  As I left work today, I noticed that some Christmas lights were up and on. It got me thinking that it is getting close to Christmas.  This was confirmed when I was in the grocery store and heard Christmas carols on the speakers in the store.  I was thankful, the song wasn't Feliz Navidad...

Don't really have much else to write about.  It was a long week and I'm looking forward to the weekend in Toronto.  We will be riding in style - Jeep grand Cherokee.  Olivier said he wanted to be safe if we got into a crash, I told him of course we would in my Volkswagen.  Maybe he just meant he didn't trust my driving skill...

Next post should be from Ontario.  Remember to watch for me in the crowd - I will be the guy in the blue unitard.

Hmm... (New)

Didn't plan this too well... How do I get to the light to turn it off...

7:52 PM Thursday

It's almost Friday! Yay! That means its almost time to go to Toronto for the Grey Cup!

Monday morning I was surprised when I was offered a ticket to the Grey Cup from our business unit director. I don't know how he got tickets but was definitely interested. I responded right way saying I'm interested. There were three tickets in total. Through out the day one of my colleagues mentioned that he missed out of a chance for a ticket. Later on a different colleague was asking my plan to go.

I told him plan was to leave Saturday and overnight twice in Toronto before returning Monday. Unfortunately he had something on Saturday night so that wouldn't work for him so he declined the ticket. This freed up a ticket for Olivier who was upset he missed out. Olivier and I also went to the eastern final on Sunday.

So our plan is to drive down Saturday to be there for supper. We staying at a hostel downtown walking distance from the game. We will meet up with Udaya (our director) who will have the tickets probably on Saturday for dinner.

I'm pretty excited, Justin Bieber is playing half time! Lol. It's going to be a big party.

Now I just need make sure I finish my lecture that I'm presenting at Carleton University on Wednesday next week. Luckily the students change but the content doesn't ;)

After the lecture I'll pick Gwen up in Ottawa and we will drive back to Montreal.

Can't wait... :D
