Andy C is an absolute beauty. Only hours after hearing about how I long for Quaker Oatmeal Golden Honey with Bran, he picked me up a box at his local Maxi (Gatineau). God bless him as now I don't have to drive 40 minutes out of my way to pick up a box on McCarthy rd. at the only A&P in Ottawa. I know they have the product because I called to find out. I discovered this variety of the instant oatmeal while living in Guelph. However, I couldn't find it at any grocery stores in Ottawa.

Tonight I think I am fetching a burger at East Side Mario,s and then back to the apt for internet work and a late night exercise session. Yesterday was laundry and watching ball on tv. The Jays were in an absolute nail-biter and must have went 1-14 with runners in scoring position.

There have been a few grizzly murders in Ottawa lately, with two of the female victims living right down the street from me, on McEwen and New Orchard respectively. I think I may start brandishing a gun when I walk around my lowly neighbourhood. I hope I am not next on this list of victims.

Ella's baptism is coming up and I will be going to that. There was talk that a bucket of chicken would find its way over to the after-party, but this notion was quickly discarded when I found out that 1) KFC is not classy to bring to a gathering after a baptism 2) KFC's whole price structure out of whack. For instance two 3piece meals would cost me 21$ after delivery and tax. I'm sure we will get by without getting grease stuck to our arteries.

I have noticed that running the air conditonner at night is very noisy in the bedroom and I am going to chill the room down, then turn it off when I go to sleep. That air conditonner is certainly due for a replacement to a more modern, civilized Danby model. But it can wait to next year.
