I decided to go to Ottawa this weekend, bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing. Took the bus early saturday morning and just came back now. I spent a relaxing weekend fixing my dad's computer (only a minor thing to do this time), eating lots of mom-cooked food and generally doing nothing. Oh, and talking with Katy at decent hours too :) That last part was very, very nice and did wonders for my morale.
Started and finished a new paperback by Carl Hiaasen, a new author I discovered by fluke. Fun stuff to read. I recommend Skinny Dip, his most recent book. I'm going to start reading the new Christopher Moore book I also bought, which promises to be just as zany and fun as the others, yay!
This week should be fairly slow. I need to go over the fallout of last friday's conference call with IBM with my boss, as I think that what they're offering to do really won't suit our needs. Anyway, that's what's ahead for me this week.
Oooh, and the Salon des metiers d'arts is also starting this friday, so I'll be able to get some xmas shopping done there as well. I realized that I needed a parent-friendly gift for Katy, among other things.
Off to bed now, toodles all.
HIAASEN IS LOVE. We have a lot of his stuff at the cottage. My personal favorite is “Lucky You”.

Haven't read it. I've read skinny dip, strip tease and skin tight. I'll have to look into that one.
