Well, I took a few days off from blogging over the holidays but it's January 2 which means that it's back to normal now. The holidays were really nice this year - fun Christmas with family, some relaxing down time, and all topped off by a surprise birthday party for me. Surprise is an understatement actually. My birthday is on December 18, a week before Christmas, so this year it fell on a Tuesday. There was nothing planned that I was aware of besides the usual dinner out with my parents and Laura. The Friday before I was busy working as usual when my doorbell rang. It was about 5:30pm and I wasn't expecting anyone. Given I work at home... read more 5 comments

What kind of people do you hang around with? Do you hang around people with common goals and interests? Most people do.

In total there were 12 of us, including the 5 children. It was a nice, relaxing week. I got a couple lackluster workouts in, ate lots of garbage, probably gained some fat and just flat out enjoyed myself. I had planned and hoped to have a few days doing absolutely no... read more 10 comments

So my wife and I are down in Atlanta celebrating the US Thanksgiving with Noel and her family. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving when you're supposed to - in October. However, I'm not one to pass up an opportunity for a second Thanksgiving feast, hence stopping off in Altanta after my weekend conference in West Palm. Thanksgiving is a great holiday, although it seems far bigger in the US than it does in Canada. I hear that today is the busiest travel day of the year in the US.
