M.I.A.
My apologies for being gone for almost a month. There's no real excuse, other than Life, The Universe, and Everything.
Captain Mike arrived home safe and sound, and has been enjoying his leave by training for the most insanely gruelling exhibition of physical stamina I have ever heard of, a Military Ironman competition that involves running a marathon, portaging a canoe by yourself for 8 km or something, and paddling along the Ottawa River. Or the Petawawa River. Some river anyway. While carrying an extra 50 lbs on your back. (I think it's 50 lbs... my brain stopped processing after the "run a marathon" part.)
Anyway, that takes place on September 23rd, which coincidentally also happens to be my birthday.
In other news, lots of changes at work. People returning from mat leave, people leaving for school. Luckily, I have managed to keep my group fully staffed despite the huge turnover.
Other than that, I really don't have much to say at the moment. The coverage of the hurricane's aftermath has left me pretty disheartened and outraged, but I can't say anything that hasn't already been much more eloquently stated by a thousand other bloggers.
I will say this though: Why did Mike Myers look like he was undergoing a prostate exam when Kanye West started deviating from the script? I didn't think a comedian could be so stiff. Improv, Mike! Seize the freaking moment! Or were you too worried about upsetting the financiers for Austin Powers 4?
