What a day...

Movers finally showed up with my stuff after a delay in customs. Getting office set up finally.

Cable guy is here setting us up with PVRs finally. Third time is a charm as they blew off the last two house calls.

Ordered a Dell M2010 system today and am quite psyched about getting it.  Delivery won't be for a few more weeks, evidently. The system is a trip.

Oh, and it's snowing!

Happy holidays!

So Canada celebrates Boxing Day, which I had never heard of. Very cool. Happy holidays, people.

Smokes

I haven't quit smoking just yet. I am getting mentally prepared for such a commitment, or that is what I am telling myself. The price for my usual brand (Camel Filters) is about CDN $10.00 which is insane. I was smoking a packs a day last month and am down to a couple of pack a week. 

Last week a local told me I can buy smokes much more cheaply at the nearby Ojibwa
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ojibwa] first nation reservation. I now have about 20 packs for the next few months for CDN $15.00. That's quite a bit. I don't think I was exploiting these native peoples but it sure felt like it at first.

Here's my new digs in Canada, if curious. Cute little house, no? There is a creek in the backyard and a walking path which has many black squirrels doing squirrelly things.

Below is a boring photo of a boat launch for Lake Ontario which is only a quarter mile up the road. There's park benches at a "parkette" down the road as well.

I'm really digging this place thus far.

A friend (whom I did not know was a fan of ATHF) sent me this pic of Frylock and yours truly. I will never watch the show the same way again.
