Stuff about me!

I should be at home now since I need to wake up at 4:15 am tomorrow morning. It's time for my monthly leadership institute excursion to Tampa. Southwest stupidly cancelled its 7 am flight so my options are either take the 6 am flight and arrive two hours early or depart Ft. Lauderdale at 8 am and get there an hour late! Can't believe that Christmas is in 5 weeks - don't feel much in the spirit because it's not cold here. Although it has cooled off enough where I've turned off the a/c at home and opened the windows at night. It makes it a refreshingly cool 23 celcius inside.

Too bad that Eskimost lost in the Western semi-final to Saskatchewan. The team fired their coach soon afterwards. I finally finished reading Newsweek's lengthy issue on the post mortem of the Presidential campaign. It disgusted me with how both sides tried to literally destroy the other candidate's credibility - especially the GOP. Very juvenile tactics - how the human race has devolved, in this instance. Haven't been working out as much lately with work being exhausting. Just finished a short project for Nora and yesterday I did a short powerpoint presentation on Ask A Librarian and later moderated a session on academic and public chatters (library patrons using chat). Day began stressfully with the building's hotspot being more like a coldspot so no Internet connection. I managed to stumble and bumble my way through my crude presentation of chat software screen captures.

I'll miss Darcy's bellydancing gig Friday night :( She's only had one in the last couple of months. She has a bellydancing workshop on Saturday but I will meet up with her that evening for the performance party. Next week is shortened for America's over extended Thanksgiving. We are going to a friend's house for dinner. Dec. 18 will be our Christmas Party at my place! Last bit of news is that my stepmother, Heather, had an appendicitis attack and had emergency surgery. She had been quite ill for a few days and thought it was the flu. She at home resting now and will begin the long process of recovering. The same thing happened to me in 1989 and to my Dad in 1997. Appendicitis can be a scary thing if not treated quickly! Well, time to go home now...
