Welcome to 2007!

well here we are into a new year. Even though I had a lousy weekend. Firstly Friday Scotia bank wouldn’t give me the calendar I asked for. Then when I went to check on my Karen Travis book that normally takes a week isn’t there. Also my ECW was a Best of so no wrestling. So I go in Saturday for work and I almost get caught with a $300 mistake and I find out my headphone speakers aren’t working. I go home and have a nap that was ok, as I’m getting ready to watch the Oilers game. They end up losing big time to Vancouver. So it’s Sunday. I find out about the news item over the radio and then I read about the article in the embarrassing article about my company I’m employed with. So I ask Anne to go get me a copy of the Journal and some of my special medicated shampoo and the speakers while she’s at Walmart. There’s no paper, no shampoo to be found there or Superstore. Not only that but the Oilers lost again tonight in Calgary. Well at least I’ll get my favorite meal, Pork chops and Anne changes the menu to pot roast. This whole weekend was a total washout, q great way to end 2006.


we went to bed about 2:30am and listened to a bit of Arts prediction shows until 3am and with that gravel pill in me, I just passed out. I woke up again about 6:40am and did the cbi thing and went right back to bed. I slept until noon. So, I think I got 8 hrs 40min>to 9hourd

If my father were still alive he’d be 85 today as he was a New Years baby back in 1922. He died Richard Warren Shannon 1996 mom just 4 years after that.


Anyway I’m going to get that story off to Chris today and Wrestling tonight. Watch they’re going to have a "best of" shows.

This afternoon I ended up reading Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of "Rb" and working on the story synopsis as I did this story without an outline. It really needs work. There are point of view shifts that pop up without reason all sorts of weird stuff that needs fixing. I'm going to try and get "ZOS" out the door tonight and see what happens and work more on "Rb" I'm about at the half way point in the story. I might be able to finish the first read by next Sunday. I need a laser printer and I think I might get a cheep one or maybe just spend the $100 bucks on the cartridge for this printer:

Its not a bad printer its just the ink cartridges are hard to come by and I don't like the way it off centers sometimes on the page but otherwise its a real work horse. I also checked and Future shop has toners for the 5L available for $85 bucks so after I pay my web account I plan on getting the toner.
