I'll type something here later

I'm feeling pretty upbeat. I've had a lovely evening with my daughter. she might be a grumpy teenager, but she's MY grumpy teenager, I love her so...

Continuum - a new concept in Sci-fi shows, made in Vancouver, and set in Vancouver! No more changing road signs, license plates, carefully angled camera angles (I'm looking at you Fringe!). no just that most beloved of BC cities. Blatantly Canadian and good fun.

p.s. I must say how perfectly perfect the Mad Men finale was, for all its flaws, I love that show!!!

“In Rome, the emperor sat in a special part of the Coliseum called the Caesarian Section” - George Carlin

 

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.” - Mark Twain

It's getting longer and longer between 'posts' isn't it? At one point this so called blog was full of my happiest outpourings, and my lowest ebbs. But not even I care anymore. So little happens, it's hardly worth stopping by to say how little happens.

I'm lucky to get a nod from my family these days, and my daughter is 16 and fully independent (save, of course the occasional Dad lift) I'm wondering what purpose I fulfil. My proudest achievement, my lovely daughter, is all grown up (she let me stay in the waiting room at the dentist today, first time ever), so at least I could die happyish. however since I'm an atheist, and not quite as depressed as i once was, I'm not quite ready to go, just yet. Surely there's someone out there who feels like I do?

(I'm currently listening to Paul Buchanan as I type, so that may be informing my mood somewhat...)
