Getting old guy, big dog in a meeting room, cordless tool enthusiast, Leafs fan, and surprisingly well-adjusted and progressive thinker for a guy once accused of using a "questionable approach and unfortunate language".

I better watch out
I’m startin' to fret
He came around 1
And he hasn’t left yet
Santa Claus is hanging around!
He’s drinkin' a beer
Takin' a pee
Scratchin' his rear
And watchin' TV
Santa Claus is hanging around! RS

Me: "I'm way to tired to think today. I need to zone out."
Also me: "I need to print about 100 sheets of stuff for this week's prep and spend and hour converting a pdf to Excel so I can create an analysis of a consultant's proposal by Friday."
I can get stuff done during brief periods of lucidity.

I really should've checked my supplies before ordering five bags of Ghirardelli chocolate chips.
Gonna have to bake extra cookies this year.
These are the perils of odering stuff while I'm on the road.
BTW, my excellent chocolate chip cookies are my "Christmas cookies".
My kids love them.

I dozed off for a few minutes earlier and woke up feeling a little panic because I thought I had a virtual meeting tomorrow, followed by a meeting with my lawyer.
Looked at my calendar on my phone and realized today is Friday.
Those two meetings are next Friday.
I am exhausted.

Out for live music in Halifax tonight and there was a very funny moment.
Friends of the band were there. The band was singing JCM's Jack & Diane.
Right before the line..."Sucking on a chili dog, outside the Tastee Freeze" one of the buddies yelled...
"WHAT WERE YOU SUCKING ON??"
Well played.

Out in a bar in Halifax, so didn't see the game, but it's another point for the Leaf Bear.
Gonna put this marker down right fucking now.
If the Leafs turn it around starting tonights it's because I changed the location of the Leaf Bear.

Buddy is spending the weekend with seven of his friends, taking in a hockey game and out for drinks and meals.
I'm not sure I've had seven friends since high school. Maybe ever?
(I mean friends that I'd spend a weekend in another city with)
It seems like a lot of work?

Mary Pratt would've killed this as a painting.
Imagine spending years practicing painting, studying under the masters and honing your craft to be able to express the purity of desire in a single brushstroke just to be one-upped by this image

I have a to-do list tomorrow that just keeps getting longer and longer.
I started it on a small notepad, but had to switch to a bigger piece of paper.
It is now threatening to turn into legal size paper.
And, God help me, it includes IKEA.
It started with getting a haircut.

When I finally start dating, finding someone with the streaming/media subs that fill the gaps with mine will be a big consideration.
I bring an excellent anti-virus package, plus VPN, Prime Disney, Apple, and Sportsnet.
Seeking someone with TSN, Netflix, some major news orgs...oh, and Britbox!

I left a large gift bag on the floor, so the boy has decided that it's his #Caturday nap secret lair.
I guess I'll finish vacuuming later.

Sometimes I lose track of things because my life is too chaotic, especially given my work travel schedule.
I always carry some cash on me, usually about $200. I make sure a portion of that includes a bunch of $5 bills for tips.
When I feel like I'm getting low on cash, I'll stop at a bank.

One thing I like about the movie Remember the Titans is that Ed Henry, the opposition coach in the final game, is a legitimately good coach.

But I'm still kinda pissed about how he treated Amanda Shires.
