Oh no! Whadya do to yourself??? Take lots of hot showers, and I hope you feel better soon! 
Wow, in less than 24 hours I will be done with this job and will not have to worry about returning here for at least 2 months. Woot!! Living in a hotel for weeks at a time does have its perks: my bed is made every day, the towels are always fresh, and can you say per diem?? But I miss my glorified storage...

that WAS my wine exam. 
I ended up with 90% in that course, and believe it or not, that was with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. that damn course was difficult! well, except for the drinking part. <g>
glad you'll be going home to your apartment.
aside from the wonderfulness of having your bed made every day, etc., it will be good for you to ground yourself somewhere familiar for a while i think.
have fun at the tournament and safe driving!

yeah, marketing sucks. 
to me at least. dumb course for us. sure, we as photographers have to market ourselves and our work, but sheesh. this course was just plain dumb and not at all helpful.
I kicked ASS in my wine course though.

you get stuff?!
the restraunt owners have two places...we, the midtown one. are apparently the hillbilly cousins. They are having a party for Three Oaks and Paulett's at Oaks--but didn't tell any of the Paulett's staff. How do we find out? One of our cooks works both places. we've decided to show up with blacked out teeth and old english 40's.
thanks for the aplogy update...i was wonder wether to back and look before it was over.

My Update!!!
Well, Thanksgiving went great! I got to see the fam and everyone is doing well. Not everybody came over to eat like I thought. My brother and I were the only ones in attendance at the folk's house. My two sisters who live in town came to my parents later in the evening for pie and coffee; they had to...

Yep, we're scheduled snow sometime after midnight (any minute now actually). Ruby's won't close though. It took ages for the store to close once last December when it was almost impossible to drive in the weather.
Yes! I'd really be interested in attending another SGAR group event. Even if only a handful of people show up it'd be worth it to meet some of the new people. Do you have anything specific in mind? We should definitely schedule something... maybe a show and dinner??

dad's are cool like that. My dad is able to fit anything in anything. I love it when he helps me move, he can cram so much in a single vehicle.
You work too much, drink lots oh coffee, and safe driving!
The transportation in London is pretty good. Cabs of course, but also a pretty decent bus system that gets you everywhere. And if you did do the tourney I know of a good place to stay as long as you aren't allergic to cats.

Sir Remyx...I hope you had a fabulous Turkey day! I was with my family as well and found myself sitting back and watching the interaction from time to time, marveling at the chemistry that exists inside this group of crazies. But they are ALL MINE...I love them to pieces.
Work...my dear, has been eating you alive for far too long. Go get that raise...and if they know what's good for them, they will give you whatever you want. Your kind of dedication is rare and priceless, don't be afraid to ask for compensation for that.
As for the details involving the lovely Miss Drea...I can say, that I blush just thinking about saying anything. Things are going quite well there. Sometimes I look at her and wonder what magic potion poured onto the pages of a victoria secret catalog to bring this beautiful creature to life. But she's the best kind of beautiful...it's inside out...*swoon*

because I can too... My climbing wall experience... it 'rocked'!! 
(pun intended)
I arrived around 1pm, not knowing just what to expect. There was a couple of guys in front of me finishing up their check-in procedure. When I stepped up to the counter, the girl asked, "Are you climbing by yourself?" I looked at her for a second, not understanding why she was asking me this. Then I...

I got a call the other day from the brother of a friend of mine. He asked if I was interested in choreographing a sword-fight scene for their high school. I told him I would be happy to with the disclaimer that he unterstood I would not be able to help them as much as I like due to my job (I am traveling out...

you were in my dream the other night. i had to do a photo shoot of clint eastwood at a rock climbing place, and you were scaling up and down the wall poking him with a sword....

yup, there's a via rail station here, but it would be expensive and timely. I may go check it out though, and maybe ask if I can shoot some pictures, it'd be very interesting. I definitally wouldn't without asking though....I might make someone get stabbed-ded when the super flash goes off. I did Scottish Highland Step and Scottish Country dancing at that location for a number of years. It'd be cool to go back.
P.S. If you suddenly win the lottery and lots of free time by then - Canada is cool!

WTF!! I just got through watching this week's episode of Lost and I am so freaking on edge! I was a bit disappointed in this second season until tonight. Things has lost their surreal appeal it seemed. But now the twist are in full force again and I can't wait to see what happens next week. TV programming has something to offer again.

Whipping weekends are the way to go! 
It never ceases to amaze me how people impose a daunting and overwhealming nature upon the simpliest of tasks. Need an example? Umm, let's see.... how about moving a trash can from the curb back into its proper place. These fuckers have left their cans on the curb for 2 weeks now. All this time they are accumulating more garbage. And since I do move...
