Yip… I’ve been de-herniated… err… or whatever that would be called… ’twas a kinda tough procedure, very cool folks at the venue, came home yesterday and am looking forward to resuming life as normal…
Thanks for lots of get well wishes from you amigos aout there… and to love-of-my life Karen and the kiddos for coming to visit me… that made a world of difference honey… thanks…
3 days until the Great Holiday Hernia Adventure ‘08 (GHHA2K8 ™) begins… not so keen on this am I…
And I can’t sleep…
And it’s cold here… f*$@kin’ cold…
On a more positive note… so as not to be a complete whining biznatch… I’ve been wrestling with the lil’ morsel o’ technology that is our wireless router and trying to allow love-of-my-life Karen’s new work laptop to connect properly… a challenge given the (IMHO) bizarre way that her IT department has set the thing up… well after about three weeks of thinking about it & a couple of days of really going at it success is ours… go team!!!…

I would guess that by and large many of my amigos are not paying particular attention to the current Canadian political situation but let me tell ya, as one who has over time become rather fascinated by politics, it’s craziness up here right now… Having been in the US for the last bunch of years I haven’t been watching and am not particularly used to the Canadian political system…
A kinda humo(u)rous and somewhat explanatory article can be perused here…
Since that article was written the Governor General has indeed prorogued Parliament… so it looks like almost two months of partisan sniping and media campaigns are on the way… happy holidays!!!…

Yay!!!… we got a dog… her name’s Koda and she’s pretty darn cool… plus we got her from a Lab Rescue joint so I reckon we’re “saving” her to boot..
I had a dog in high school way back when… for the last twenty-plus years I’ve been fondly remembering those days and wanting to have another but haven’t been able to for a variety of reasons… until now…

One of my co-workers just got back from a weekend trip to Montreal… I overheard her talking about her trip to another resident of my cube farm and she mentioned that she met a dude while she was there that is working on a PhD on… wait for it… CHEESE….
That is one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard…

So I turn 40 and right away all sorts of hell starts breaking loose…
We’ll skip the details but I seem to have developed one of these hernias that I’ve heard so much about… luckily(*) we live super close to what I come to find is one of the most rippin’-est (in a “cool” way… not, I’m hoping, in a literal sense) hernia fixin’ joints out there – Shouldice Hospital… where I am officially scheduled for a surgical-type visit in less than a month…
And its kinda freakin’ me out… mainly due to the fact that they only use a local anesthetic… I think I’d prefer to be taking a nice little nap whilst this event goes down… the last time I had a “procedure” done under a local was when I did my part to ensure our family population stays locked at four… and that blew… hopefully this will be significantly lovelier…
Maybe they’ll let me take a few pictures while its all going down…
(*) err… lucky would maybe be not having one in the first place
