Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.

You Are The Hermit |
 You posses a great deal of wisdom and the ability to see people for who they are. You are always looking ahead at the future, developing visions. A loner, you tend to travel by yourself through life, seeking your own truth. You don’t crave material things or fancy titles. You have no baggage. Your fortune: It’s possible that there is a unknown guiding figure in your life, ready to help you. All you have to do is find this person and seek their advice. It’s also possible that you need to start seeking the meaning of your own life. Either way, there’s some deep thinking you need to undertake, and it needs to be done soon. |

You Are From Pluto |
 You are a dark, mysterious soul, full of magic and the secrets of the universe. You can get the scoop on anything, but you keep your own secrets locked in your heart. You love change and you use it to your advantage, whether by choice or chance. You don’t like to compromise, to the point of being self-destructive with your stubbornness. Live life with love, and your deep powers will open the world to you. |
Now there’s a good headline.
There was a good sized turnout for tonight’s gathering which made it very cozy and fun. I think there were maybe about 18 or so people there. I got there a little late (at least I can say I wasn’t the last one there…Jared wins that honour) and was surprised at just how many people were there. Madra Rua turned out to be an excellent gathering place that I’ll have to go back to because they were out of fish & chips when I got there (disappointing). Hopefully we didn’t run the waitress too ragged tonight.
It was nice to see a few new faces there tonight. Got to meet Dave Moulton (who’s blog I’ve been enjoying reading lately), Josh from Today’s Special and Microbial Lab Pam. We even had a frequent commenter (can he be called a blogger groupie?) show up for the gathering. Looking forward to the podcast Geoff ends up making with his interviews from tonight too.
Many eyes were glued to the TV watching the Patriots/Chargers game, which the Patriots ended up winning by a field goal much to Jared’s dismay.
Thanks to Heather for putting tonight’s gathering together. It was great seeing everyone again!
Update: Joan and Chuck have pictures up. Silly me forgot the camera in the car again this time.
Maybe I should save that title for Monday’s post…
Looks like there will be a pretty good turnout for tomorrow’s blogger gathering at Madra Rua. I’ve never been there before, but I’m told it’s pretty good. I’m counting on a decently poured Guiness tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone again.
In the meantime, there is plenty for me to do this weekend. Stuff to do in the garage, dog class for Simba, revisions to make on the paper I submitted among other things. There’s also some blogging I need to catch up on too.
Definitely more later.
My sister sent me this link to a claymation video my 11 year old neice worked on for a school project. Not bad for a couple of 11 year olds.
