November Update

I generally try to make these things a little more frequent, and a little less like monthly updates, but there just hasn't been a whole lot to report. After such a busy spring/summer, I've really shut 'er down for most of the fall... only curling two nights a week and most weekends, volleyball one night a week, school work, regular work and so on... actually is a little more boring than you think.
 
Having played 30+ games already in the curling season, I'm not really thrilled with that way that is going. I don't feel I've been playing that well, nor have my teams in various leagues and events. I finally got a couple good games in yesterday, which made me feel a LITTLE bit better. I think I've finally worked my way back to a winning record, which is not ever a struggle I like to have.
 
Planning is well underway for the second edition of the 12 Bars of Christmas. It looks like it will be well attended, and may actually pose a logistics problem for the organizer... me. I've got some ideas though, and I'm sure it will be a smashing success.
 
In other news... I had a friend pop in for a visit from Edmonton. Jen was in town for some work stuff, so I made sure we got her fed with a healthy diet of Burrito Boyz, Big Slice, and poutine from Dangerous Dans.  I've also been nerding it up with thoughts of a new business venture putting some school-acquired knowledge to good use. More on that later, as it develops.
 

That's about it for now... I think I'll be taking a trip in January. I've been sitting still for too long :)

Feeling for a Pulse

Okay, I've stopped moving... mostly. Other than a couple of short visits to Maitland to see the parents, sisters, nieces and nephews, I've been pretty low key. I'm settled back into work in Toronto for now, getting excited for curling season, and back to playing volleyball once a week. So far we haven't lost at volleyball, but unfortunately Thornhill curling didn't treat us so kindly.
 
Starting this weekend, the curling season takes off. We're in Barrie this weekend, leagues start for me on Tuesday AND Thursday, then we're playing in Guelph next weekend. After that, there's a week off... then three more weeks of spiels.
 
In other news, I'm doing my LAST course for school. Pretty soon, I'll actually get my act in gear and start progressing on my final project. That will be a ton of work, but it has to be done. Also, I may be planning a little trip with some buddies from high school, but it depends on if I can get the time off in January. More to follow...
 
And finally, I'm just trying to write more... movies, sketches, books, columns, blogs. Anything.
