I met Stuart last week. I had to go to Calgary for a few days on business. Very tiring (the trip, not Stuart).
He's doing good, looks well, and I arrived almost an hour late due to the business part being not so well organised before I got there. So I paid for the drinks and wings that we ate, and we had a good couple of hours catching up.
Apart from that, the only time I had to myself was a couple of hours before leaving for the airport to come home. I bought Deb a pink cowboy hat, which she loves, and a hockey jersey for the local "Guelph Storm" equivalent (the "Calgary Hitmen").
The flight out was typical, though the person beside me tossed their cookies while landing. Bleugh. The flight back was uneventful, and I grabbed my bags and got home by about 2am. Four nights in the Hyatt - very nice hotel, but nothing beats your own bed.
In other news, went to see the Leafs play their Blue V White game - lots of fun, though it started out slow. Hockey is back, folks, and so is the new season of shows on TV. This is, for the most part, a good thing. But Rogers (who can't give me good mobile service for love nor lots of money) digital TV is slipping somewhat. The PVR is screwing around and not doing what it's supposed to. Some programs are cut off, and some can't be recorded as the menu stops working sometimes. The list of stuff to record also breaks when trying to set up a recurring event for HD shows. It sucks, really.
