I'm thinking whatever was wrong with pppoe last week is wrong again... and it just came back before, so I'll cross my fingers that it comes back today. :D As I type, the picture's not showing up. !! :(

Well plans change... :)
I got to where I was planning on parking as I heard the radio tell me about when the actual protests were planned and there's nadda happening till closer to lunch. So that's when I'll be going. As I left, heading to work, I noticed the sneaky little RCMP dudes hanging out along the route I was told would be George's path into town... cool. :)

It's crazy beautiful outside. Cold ... but super sunny and not really windy. Of course, the weather idiots are calling for freezing rain tonight and a winter storm over night. Ug.

You can go [ :: HERE :: ] to load up a web cam that is pointing at Canada's Parliament Hill. You have to do your own refreshes... Check the cam around 12:00 EST. !! :D

~ I suspect it'll be "back to work" by 2:00. :)
~ to put into words some feelings I have about a couple of really treasured friends...
wishing
~ I didn't have this thing going on in my throat... like a wee tickle in the bottom... I "harumph" cough... like a "more than an excuse me cough" and it's like I'm getting it... whatever it is... but never quite... I'd say I have a frog in my throat but I haven't eaten any french people since college...
~ that groovysegue gets her voice back!!! :D
~ I could wave a wand and make a little magic for nortacon... bro I wish... I really do.
~ for innerly to find the inner Ly necessary to hold on ... and keep her faith... one month at a time sugar.
~ that my wee alma_perdida feels better...
~ and congrats out to dawna who just got a wee bit of luck! :D

I have a letter in my hands... written by a woman in the "consumer affairs" department at Effem Inc. Do you know who Effim is? They make ... chocolate bars. No really... they make Mars, Snickers, and Twix, among, no doubt, many many others. This letter is a big ol'appology. I was eating a Twix bar and it wasn't all yummi and soft and fresh like... and there on the back of the package was a phone number and the suggestion that if I had any questions... I really should call. Yupper... I called. She was very nice on the phone... whoever I was talking to. They explained - and then explained again in the letter - that "confectionery is a delicate food" and that storage and transport was to blame. I elected to ignore the suggestion that confection is a food ... because I was way to happy about looking at the two coupons for two free choco bars... that's like four chocolate bars ... and yes, I get excited by the smallest goofiest things... :D ~ snicker... er...I mean... ~ twix. ;)

Life is a lot less complicated than you might otherwise be lead to believe.
No really...
Decide what is important to you ... and that can be a moving target as you grow through the branches of your life...
And take a step towards the important stuff every day.
If you take that step... then you're on the path.
Everything else is just fluff on that road but that's ok... fluff is sometimes fun.
When it's not... you gotta ask yourself... "Just how important is that?"

Take care today...
... and I'll take pictures.
