Mea Culpa
>> Monday, January 22, 2007
So it snowed again. And yes folks, it is all my fault. It would seem I made a rather rash prediction that it would not snow again this season.
In my defense, I never did go out and buy snow boots. If I had, it never would have snowed. But I decided that I should save my money for the cruise I went on a week or so ago. Which ended up being a truly crap experience anyways. I might as well have gone out and bought snow boots when I said I was going to. Not that a lack of money would have improved the cruise any...
I am still trying to recover from the weird super-virus I picked up on that boat. 30 plus degrees, the middle of the feckin Caribbean, and I spent half my time passed out in bed. The only thing that cruise had to recommend it was the food. And really, you can only eat so much in a day. After I got sick on the third day I couldn't taste anything anyways. I think I might actually have lost more weight on that one week cruise than I did in 6 weeks of travel in Asia. Live and learn I guess. The year's lessons thus far: buy the damn snow boots when you need them and just say no to cruises.
On account of I try to include pictures in my posts I'll put up a picture of a big green leaf I took while in Belize. Why did I take a picture of a big green leaf? I'm really not too sure. Possibly the combined effects of the weird virus and sunstroke. Or maybe it was just a little too much cashew wine.

it's not just a leaf
it's a salad bar for a caterpillar
Hey Dan... How odd, I was just thinking about you the other day...
In answer to your question, I used my Visa. Plastic fantastic. Of course the time has come to pay the piper. I'm thinking about starting up a website and cyber-begging. I saw a show about it the other day, and apparently there are people out there willing to give total strangers money just because they ask for it. Of course this would require abandoning my principles, not to mention all dignity.
On second thought, I just won't do anything at all for the next two weeks (pretty much what I've been doing for the past two weeks)thereby ensuring that I will indeed have enough money to pay my bills when they come due.
It also helps that I got a big cheque at the end of December giving back all the money I payed into the Parks Canada pension fund in my last term there. Somehow I get the feeling they won't be calling me back this year...
