in BC have been making the air quality here not very good. Add having a hot spell as I mentioned in yesterdays Tweet only makes it worse. Its not like we're in surgical masks or anything and as soon as it cools off we should be back to normal air quality.

I'm having my first coffee this morning trying to wake up as in just over an hour, I'm out the door. Its another 6 hours Saturday, I wish I could have put even one extra shift in this week. But the end of the day, I'll have 25.5 hours in. 

Twitter is great. I use it often although I'm not a heavy Twitter user into stats etc. I mostly use Twitter when I have a blog update or in between blog posts. If I want to add to a Blog post, I'll use Twitter after the post has been updated so my readers following me on Twitter can get the updates. In some ways, I can see the advatage of having a cell phone. I can get blog updates from the blogs I'm following and sports scores plus I can add Tweets through out the day. I'm looking at the new Blackberry Torch as a new toy, possibly as a christmas present. We'll see.

Boots update. He seems to be getting better as he's not favoring his paw as much. last night he jumped off he balcony and its a good 10 foot drop to the grass below. I woke up about 2am and Anne said Boots is back:

I'm sitting at dialer #20 last night which is in excellent viewing range for the Riders at Montreal game. It was close to, Riders 26 Montreal 28. So after work I did my banking and got home for the rest of the Eskimos/hosting the Argos. Toronto was ahead something like 19-7 when the half was over. In the third the Esks got an interception and took advantage of a couple of miss calls by the officials but with about 5 minutes left in the game were at 28-26. Then the Argos scored and got the point after for a real heartbreaker making the end result 29-28 Toronto and I had $2 bucks on it. This teaches me a valuable lesson: Never bet on the CFL.

If it's not too far out of the way, after work I'm going to go over to Bryon's place. He wants to show me his home studio. I've been kind of putting it off for awhile but if I'm no worse for wear after work, sure I'll go up and take a look. He has an Apex mic he bought for $31 and I'm thinking about getting one at Long & McQuade on our way to his place. Anyway, that's about all for now.
