We're goin' to Bolivia!

It's shocking how I let this blog slide after the Facebook discovery, but this blog can apparently be fed into FB, so I just need to figure out how and then make it so.

I've been reading the info on-line about Bolivia and Chile, as well as informative blogs. Very exciting! I'm concerned about the altitude sickness, since the highest I've ever been was in the Rockies and that was only about 1200m, but hopefully we'll be attuned after just a couple days...

Hot water tank: you're on notice!

Looks like we'll be having some cold showers tomorrow... The repair guy will be here between the oh-so-specific window of noon-4pm.

Rrrrggh

Sick day!

It's been a looong time since I took a sick day, but I'm doing so today. Probably could've gone in, but I'm being considerate and not spreading the virus around.

My plan today is to play with Ella, read The Saxon Shore for a few hours and nap. A good day, indeed!

Great Moments in Marketing

Looking at flights to Glasgow today and noticed an odd choice of a quote about the city on the Flight Centre website:
'The great thing about Glasgow is that if there's a nuclear attack it'll look exactly the same afterwards.' - Billy Connolly
Um. Yeah.

Identity crisis for cats

Working from home today and I just saw an unusual sight. There was someone walking their 2 dogs and 1 cat. The cat seemed to be fine with walking on a leash.

Your Taun-taun Will Freeze Before You Reach The First Marker!

Um, so, uh, winter seems to be making up for it's lateness all in one go today.

In the park, other than stretches of ground where the extreme winds were sweeping the snow clear, I had to make corridors for Ella to walk through. Truly, today Toronto = Hoth.

Bad reasons to have children -- #18461

Amy and I were discussing various bad reasons why people would decide to have kids. The usual being "to keep us together".

My suggested bad reason?
"To harvest in the future as an alternate food source."
