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!!!…
