If you would have told me that I was going to miss my job this much four years ago I would have told you to lay off the crack. I'm back to riding my bike and it's my plan to ride as long as the weather doesn't drop below -30. I'll probably combine riding with the C-Train in the winter but that has to do with how dark some of my route is more than the weather.

So ski season and hockey season have ended on the same day for me this year.
Bugger.

At the top of list is the Kitchen Aid Artesian mixer. Of course the damn thing comes in 14 colours so now I have to make a decision before I even think of buying one.
Look to the right of my blog to give me a hand in this decision.

Realizing that when you put your sports car away for the winter you did so after filling up the tank. Woohoo, it's convertible season!

I dread the day that Simon comes home dressed like Kurt Cobain because 90's grunge is retro.

You Know You're Getting Old When

I love marketing. I find the tricks of the trade fascinating and I'm always watching or reading ads to see what exactly the ad is trying to elicit from the watcher or reader.
For instance, Duracell (batteries) runs several commercials talking about how they are chosen for various emergency services, hospitals and NASA projects. What you need to know about that is that publicly funded agencies usually have to find the lowest bidder for everything. My guess is that Duracell deliberately bids low for these public services guaranteeing that theirs will be the battery used say in fire-fighter “man-down” alarms. It costs them initially because of their low bid but gives them great advertising potential. In my opinion, it's brilliant.

But aside from re-enacting the past, I also spend a lot of time recording my own personal history. I've mentioned in posts before that I have a journalling fetish. I think that the journalling all ties in to my love of history.
