I have heard reports

that the great Gerald Genta has passed away. In any case, I am going to wear this one tomorrow.


Tune of the Day:  Satisfaction   by Devo

I'm off to Michi's 40th birthday party in a few hours

and it should be very enjoyable. We are in for a nice day and I'm sure that the guests will be up for a fun time.
My new book arrived yesterday- luckily I was in town and able to collect it. It will take some reading, but is destined to become a modern classic.



Tune of the Day: Metal Guru    by T Rex

I don't know what took me so long, but

last night on the way home, I stopped into my favourite jeans shop and bought a pair of Redwing boots. Now I feel like a real hipster  :-)  I guess that me buying new boots caused the big snowstorm that we had today.

After a week of shaving with the new mousetrap

I can say that it is better. Sure, it might take a little longer, but it is better. A little like writing a letter with a fountain pen, I guess............. it might take just a little longer but the process is something to be enjoyed.
I had a good swim this morning and I am looking forward to getting into the pool again tomorrow and then hopefully to the gym as well.
Geneva was a lot of fun last week- the watch show was terrific and it was nice to catch up with old friends as well as having the chance to make some new ones.

I guess that I was inspired by my Australian trip

and I headed off this morning and went for a swim in the pool. It was a lot harder than I remembered, but hopefully after a couple of months things will become somewhat easier. Along with riding a bike and doing some strength training, this should help me to get ready to get out and about on my snow-shoes when winter proper arrives.
