Good God I need to update this more often. Hmmm, I think that is almost cliche around here. I suppose most people are too busy to blog as much as they think they should. That is no bad thing though, It is much better to be doing things worth writing about than to have nothing to write about.
Fatherhood is FAST approaching and I think I am prepared.
Hopefully I am right.
I have made provisions to work out of the Corporate Office of the company I am working for. That way I will only be a 45 minute drive from home, not 800km's and an indefinate amount of time dependant upon air travel etc. I also hope to meet with an accountant and lawyer to iron out details related to starting my own consulting business. It's time to start making money for myself and not for an antiquated company that has been left behind in today's evolving industry. I know I have at least 2 to 3 years of solid work up here so it will afford me time to network and learn the business side of things before I need to solicit the next project.
So back to the baby. Unlike Mitch Hedburg, I don't like to smoke It's a boy's (I couldn't find a clip with that joke but I'm sure you get the picture). Anyways, I have a colleague at work that lives in Cuba and he brought me this lovely gift to celebrate the occasion:
I think only a few will be smoked on this occassion as these are pretty primo cigars that I don't want people to use as 'Keepsakes'. For your smoking satisfaction only!! He returned to Cuba today and is going to bring me back a bunch of lesser quality cigars for the main celebration. I do not have a whole lot of cigar smoking buddies so if they smoke a $5 stick as opposed to a $70 stick I am sure they won't feel ripped off. They still will be cubans and not dry It's a boy!'s!
I also have a buddy who is looking for a dog and I convinced him to get a bullmastiff as well! He is getting a male so maybe in a year once his little stud is old enough (and our house is mellow enough), we will be able to have a batch of puppies!
Just in case everybody forgot how cute puppies are here are some pictures:
Our Dog Crouton as a puppy
The Puppy he is looking at
His is a brindle and ours is a red fawn, but I believe the colors stay separate. Might get 2 or 3 fawn and 2 or 3 brindles. Either way they are cute little bastards and it would be a cool experience.
In other news, it has been so cold up here that when it hit -24 here I didn't even wear my main coat to lunch. The liner part was warm enough after freezing my bag off for a few days. Tomorrow is supposed to be -40's again so it is short lived I guess.
Well thats about as much excitement as I care to tell today.
Ciao
