    My apologies for all the sniffles, I hope I got most edited out. Feeling better now. So Thanksgiving Day is next week, do you think Trump will pardon the turkey? Day with the fam, ran through a couple of my crazy ideas just to see if they sound crazy out loud. Not too bad. Finally went upstairs to my old room and got rid of a box of books! I probably have three or four more I could get rid of very quickly. But those aren’t the issue, the issue is drum parts. It might be time to get rid of some of them? How to choose? Weekend plans?

    Cold and rainy turning to slush! Oh Winnipeg! Stuck around the house today to get some things done. A year’s worth of mail and other clean up jobs. Cost of perogies has gone up! $9 per dozen! Used to be $6! Never did go for a walk but did go out for a drive to Grant Park mall. Shopped at Co-op… they used to be just a gas station, now grocery store that replaced the Safeway. Cash register lady was from Ukraine, Ternopil. Found some non-alcoholic IPAs and stouts, though have yet to try them. Shoppers and Canadian Tire BOTH blocked off access to the mall after 6pm. Never used to be that way. Security guards looking at me! Then off to McNally Robinson, one of the best smelling bookstores in the world. Cafe, restaurant, book shop, and literary corner. Marc Garneau, Canada’s first astronaut was giving a talk. Stayed for a bit but had to get going. Reading list compiled while at the book store: Life cycle of a CEO Starting and running a small business for Canadians A short history of Canada by Desmond Morton Small business big business Tiananmen Square by Lai Wen Winipek by And, what if I didn’t go back to Beijing… just yet?
