Buffalo vs. Ottawa, a good game watched on Thursday
CN Tower late Saturday night, on the way back from the wedding.
The view from Jim and Kristann's hotel. Beat my railway track view by a mile.


MONDAY...
— Holiday. Not doing too much. Around the house and spending time with Ruby and Lee. It’s nice.

TUESDAY...
— Work’s okay. I’m in QC for the first time in months and it goes alright.
— Some studying for the Friday interview and some time on the phone.

WEDNESDAY...
— Bowling day at work. I team up with Melissa, Megan and Mike. It’s fun enough.
— My interview is delayed. Won’t be Friday now... probably it’ll happen in a week or two. Never straight forward in our office, that’s for sure.

THURSDAY...
— Work’s tricky. First time I’ve done Partial Purges in about seven months. And the last time it was for a half an hour. Last full day of it was about two years ago!
— Off to the hockey game tonight. Go with Melissa and Nick and Nick’s friend. I was lucky to get the seat cause it was a good game... even though Buffalo lost to Ottawa 3-2.

FRIDAY...
— Work is fine but a bit tiring. Not much sleep last night due to the late night with the hockey game.
— Walk to the train station from work and head to Toronto for the weekend. Get in town around 9:00... to the hotel just before 9:30... and have a few phone calls with Jim and the parents before calling it a night.

SATURDAY...
— Meet up with Jim and Kristann in the morning. We do some walking around, shopping, lunch, and hanging out.
— Sam’s wedding in the evening. It’s good. Done in a restaurant on the 54th floor of a skyscrapper, overlooking downtown Toronto. Had the roof been off the Air Canada Centre, we could have watched the game. I continue my no-dance policy with some words from others for it.

SUNDAY...
— Long day. Up and find that my train ticket is gone. The receipt part is there but not the ticket back to Ottawa. So I go off to Union Station and talk to them and have to buy another ticket. Then it’s meeting Jim and Kristann... over to Sam’s place for brunch... and end the Toronto trip hanging out at Christie’s place eating, drinking, and watching football.
— Train to Ottawa is long and slow. A couple of delays gets us in Ottawa about Midnight. Twenty minutes walking to the car at work... ten minutes getting the frost off... and home.

No story this week. A long and busy weekend with things that need getting done on Monday make the story tricky. Pictures instead.
