Hanging out at King Eddie's

I'm going to be spending the weekend at Lara's parents' place and Lara is coming in to Toronto from Ottawa to pick me up. The course finished just after noon, so I decided to come over to King Edward's Arms to have a little lunch and hang out while I waited for her to get here. The kids had to stop a couple of times, so it's taking them a little longer to get here than I had expected. As a result, I'm getting a little drunker than I had expected. Such is life.

I'm going to be home in Ottawa next week. This is going to be a bit of a treat. I'm also going to be off the week after since that's the week of the fishing trip. It's going to be a short fishing trip this year since I have to go to NYC to teach a course. Maybe Joe and I will be able to squeeze out another day or so later in the summer.

Wrestling is on the TV right now here at the pub. I can't hear what they are saying, but man it's ridiculous.

I've got a little more time to kill, so I think I'll do a travelog entry on my other blog for Toronto.

Unfortunately, there were no more visor girl sightings. It could be that the mystery will never be solved.

Wierdos with Visors, Part 2

I think there was another visor-girl spotting this morning. I'm not sure if it was the same person or not, the visor was actually one of those hats you probably used to wear in the 80's. However, it was really big, was the same colour, and she walked kind of strange, like either she didn't have knees, or she was wearing stilts. She was going into our hotel. Hopefully she's not trying to track us down because that would be creepy.

Joe and I have been recently inspired by Ricky Gervais' podcast, so we were playing around a bit with podcasting today and managed to get one up and running, and subscribed to it in iTunes. Kind of neat stuff. We have a couple of ideas for podcasts. I'll post something here if and when we actually get anything up and running.

We're going out to the Madison House around Bloor and Spadina (in Toronto) tonight. I haven't been there in years. Hopefully it will be warm enough to sit outside on the patios. That would be sweet.

Easter Bunny Stew and Wierdos Wearing Visors

I'm in Toronto with Joe this week getting trained on some new stuff that's going to be big in the next year. Unfortunately, I threw my back out on Sunday (yes, again), so it's been a bit difficult to really stay focused. I have to teach this in a few weeks, but I'm sure that I'll have lots of time to fill in the gaps over the next couple of weeks.

I'm hopefully going to have some good international travel this year for work. I may be going to Mexico City in May, and we're also looking at some work in Scotland, Isreal, and India. Very cool.

I was at the grocery store on the weekend and they had rabbits for sell in the meat section. I'm all for that since rabbit is delicious and I don't think that enough people eat it. I kind of thought that it was a little soon after Easter.

There was a guy walking around here with a big visor on. It was kind of like a motorcycle helmet without the helmet. He was crossing at a light, and I don't really think that he could see where he was going with it on as he was kind of stumbling around. It was kind of wierd and funny at the same time. Maybe I'll see him again this morning (we'll go to the same place for breakfast). If so I'll try to get a picture and post it.
