It has been some time since I have updated my blog. I have spent most of my time working. I have more things to do than I have time to do them in. This week I put in around 50 hours at work. The good news is that Greg suggested that I would be getting a raise...

Maryna and I went to see the Emerson Quartet on Saturday afternoon. May I say, I believe this is the best string quartet that I have ever heard. They have been playing together for 25 years - they have been playing music together for as long as I have been alive...

Remember Big Chief tablets from your school days? How about Boys against Girls on the play ground - the modified version of tag, where every member of one gender was it all at once, until they caught one person on the opposite side. Kickball, dodge ball, four square, and soccer. Man...

nemo servus potest duobus dominis
Again, I have grown weary of keeping up with St John business and outside business.

The Zoo
The air smelled as ginger when we walked in - holding hands, smiling, and laughing. It was a clean and fresh afternoon, heavy morning showers cleansed the dense air leaving a light pleasant taste to it. The walls of the cafe were painted with scenes of European streets, markets...

I did laundry last night *sigh* I hate doing my laundry. While doing my laundry I finished off the "Tao Te Ching". I found it interesting and inspiring. After finishing the book, I got a bit bored waiting on my laundry to dry and my eyes fell onto the Mrs...

I am tired. I have grown weary of the put downs, the snide remarks, the jokes that every thinks are so funny except for me the victim, the butt. I try to ignore it when it is my coworkers making the comments, but my boss making jokes is unacceptable...
