Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

~Rita Mae Brown
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

Canada. The Land of Plenty. Plenty of Water. And Water Pressure.

Wednesday, November 3

I was close - a news story on Makybe Diva.

First - a memory, cause I have tons I haven't mentioned....

Walking the dunes at Lancelin and talking about different sport cultures, Drew is explaining to me what he didn't llike about snowboarding -after trying it.

"Well, it's just the whole thing - you have to hang out and be cool, get piercings, a tattoo, dye your hair blo..... er, much like you, Jen."

I don't think he realized quite was he was saying. ha. It was all the more funnier because he's a pretty serious guy.

Okay, so one..I didn't think I'd be quite so happy to feel cold rain. ahhh. No extreme mugginess, no sweat, just cold rain.

I love this hotel. I love it's bathtub.

I love that I turned on the TV for the first time in almost 4 weeks and the episode of Lost is the NEXTone I haven't seen yet.

Although I've just realized that the flight in Lost was from Sydney to LA.... successfully navigated today.

I love that I can relax in this honking big bed with a glass of duty free Laphroaig (the best scotch EVER).

I love that I could travel through 5 airports on 5 planes in three countries in a day but be unable to get a ferry back to the island, not running due to high winds. sheesh.

Since this trip was a 'training' one then I guess I've learned some things and eventually I'll get around to explaining all of it because there are internal learnings and practical learnings but right now, in this commercial break, I will tell you two of the practical ones.

I rock at packing. There wasn't a lot I didn't use.

The other good thing about that is that at least the military will make me better at carrying it.

There's a little drawer in every airplane lavatory that holds free 'female supplies'. And that, folks, is a good thing to know.
