Work, and other uninteresting things

I’m back in Norman Wells, NWT. I’ll be here until the second week of October… and I’m already questioning whether or not I’ve brought enough warm clothing. Seems I never learn.

Tuesday was Tracey’s birthday… and not just any birthday, but the big ’29′ (of course I’m not at liberty to say any other number than 29, so we’ll just go with it).

Now you might expect that such an event should be cause for a gift of substantial proportions… and I fully realized this. I was very tempted to get her the Battlestar Gallactica series on DVD as she is a bit of a freak and really likes that sci-fi stuff, but I felt it might be better to go ‘over-the-top’…

… so, I proposed…

    Hi Roger,

    Nice move and pretty sparkly to go with your lovely bride to be! Big congrat’s and very happy & excited for both of you.

    Happy Birthday too, Tracey – pretty memorable, I am sure. Paul proposed to me on one of my “29th” birthdays too!

    Hugs & wishes to you both,

    Proposed what? A vacation? A hair cut? What did you propose? Did you propose a new job? A new shower gel and loofa? Another glass of scotch, clean underwear, jazzercise classes? Bird hunting, back waxing… a BRAZILLIAN!

    Come on, don’t keep me hanging! I need to know!
