Yes, Daft Punk’s latest release is still high a top all of my playlists. Yes, I still think it’s one of the greatest records I’ve ever heard. Yes, it’s been awhile since I’ve spewed out some letters and hoped they formed words. What’s new? Well, let’s see…
Since last time we spoke and or I typed and you read, I have found a steady job, went cottaging, attended a few ball games, saw a best friend off to another country, and various other itty bitty things.
After a few weeks of misery trying to decipher my role in an industry that is not quite my forte, and pavement pounding and resume slinging, I happened to make small talk with a chef about living in Vancouver. Three days later I had a job. Right place, right time. One fellow was just quitting and they needed someone to take over. Awesome. So now I’m thrilled to be slinging grilled cheeses and sliders at Gallagher’s Bar and Lounge. My coworkers are fantastic and there’s live music every night. Things quickly changed from disparaging to phenomenal. Indeed, I got lucky.
Cottaging with the family happened the following weekend, which was great. What was supposed to be a boys weekend away was wonderfully hijacked by my female cousins, which was great. It was nice to have all the grandkids be able to spend time together as it doesn’t happen often. Or ever, really. One evening there was a thunderstorm that rolled in and I was able to snap this beauty:
Weather is neat.
We didn’t catch many fish though, but the time together spending was nice.
Baseball has been trying to say the least. I’ve been to four of my flex pack games and have a record of 3-1, so that’s good at least. Also made it out as part of a group of twelve to the Canada Day game which was a blast. It was the first time in five years or so that the TBJB team from 29 Princess has reunited. And that was wonderful fun. Looking forward to trying to make that an annual baseball tradition (Boston next year, anyone??). Also made it over to Buffalo to catch a triple-A game during Jose Reyes’ rehab. That was much fun as well – and outlandishly inexpensive. I don’t know why we don’t do it more often! After this post is written I’m going to pop in the shower and jump on the GO Bus and head on down to the Dome. Here’s hoping the boys in blue can make up some ground on the Rays.
SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT!
My best friend and former roommate (Roommate, The as you know him) had us out for some going away drinks a few weeks ago as he has begun his grand adventure in the land down under. I’d offer more details, but I encourage you to get his side of the story instead. And his blog is much nicer than mine. I’m a wee bit jealous. Check it out (and his amazingly witty title) at…

For those of you may want to check it out later, you can get to it by clicking on “Roommate, The” on the side of my page —>
Also, I know some of you are in the GTA. And some of you have pianos. So get them tuned and repaired here:

Hm. I think that’s about it for now. Hopefully I’ll be less busy at work and can write more – but not really, I love my job.
