Trying to get home for November
Well, I am here again. Decided to just fart around today and do internet stuff. I did. Anyway, I wanted to update this and let you know what is going on. I have applied to the new position at work, but have not heard back yet. Not sure if I met the deadline or not, although I am sure I did!!! I should hear back this week. I have found a 5-a-side team to play on on Tuesday nights as well. This is good news, I can now quit the Sunday team since I doubt I am going to get any playing time with them anyway, and I refuse to practice/train and then get no reward at the other end. Not complaining, whatever works for them is fine, but I am looking for a team that rewards effort, and they have found another keeper who they obviously feel is better than me (and he is!!!). So, I will leave them, and try to find another Sunday league to join, but if not, at least I have this new team :)
Work this week was good. I did some more training with purchase orders etc, which is something that is good to know for future jobs. Hmm, what else am I up to? Not too much really. I have felt really busy, even though I don't seem to do too much beyond the occassional pub evening, or football. I still miss home, and still going to spend some time looking for work back home, but it will take a very good job to pull me back at the moment (mostly because of financial obligations... making English cash is GOOD). People ask, 'do you like London?', and I honestly can't answer. It is a strange place, usually you can say whether you like a place or not, but I honestly can't here. I like things about it, then there are other things that suck (like tryign to meet up with friends here, it can take up to 2 hours on the tube to get where you want to go). It is a busy town, and that I like. I saw STOMP! hmm... I may have mentioned that already... never mind. I will go see some more very soon. I also have some galleries I still need to go see, but I am waiting until I have someone to go with... not many people I know here are into that kinda thing. I am spending alot of time reading, which is good. I have no tv and no computer... wow... weird huh? Oh, and George RR Martin is coming to London!!!! Oct.21, 5pm!!!!! I will be the first in line!!!! If you don't know his books, look him up!!! I am serious, best books I have ever read. *glares at Alex, Darren and the others who have yet to read them!!!*
So sits,

Any problems or comments for the Grotto should be directed to a dark place, or if you really must, daiunus@yahoo.ca

I wish I had the time to read... and I'm sure I do but I certainly haven't found it. I don't even read my school books as often as I should, heh.

Hi Pete,
Just an update from this end of the country (Canada that is). School is back, Emily was happy, Kyle was indifferent. Signed Kyle up for curling, said he wanted to give it a try, also karate of course and soon volleyball. Emily is signed up in Ringette again, karate, all girls school choir and indoor soccer. Me, well I tried hockey again, unfortunately the old knees are not holding out too well. I am back into karate of course, never really stopped, except when we were in Praque. Hopefully Kyle will try a few karate classes with the adults this term. Debbie is keeping busy working back at Cole Harbour Place and the school. She is also on the sub list for the schools as an EPA (Education Program Assistant) she seems to like that very much and it would be great if she got a full term with the school doing this, as the money is good and so are the hours and breaks. Lets see what else, still riding my motorcycle, should be good to go until sometime in Novemeber. I will probably have to use the motorbike more than the car these days with the price of gas, those flatfaced, greasy chicken eating, greedy b---ards!!Oil companies that is. Anyway, talk to you again soon.
