cyclic economy, I'd rather live here then anywhere else. Ok so we have bad hockey, we have a decent climate though. Thanks to a 2015 El-nino year our climate has been sub arctic-moderate. The average High temperature for October for example has been 16.7, and November we've had about a week of -0/-6 for the whole month. That's what a El-nino year can do for us. At the same time we don't experience any flooding. Did I mention the hockey is bad?
On the Connect to Edmonton movie thread I mentioned since JJ Abrams is involved with Star Wars, what does this do for the Star Trek film franchise? Does the success of Star Wars breath new life into the floundering Star Trek movie series? What happens to Trek now?
Ok this is my last post for 2015 (I promise) My wife is working tonight so I get to hold down the fort and ring in New Year alone. Anne's going to order me a pizza meal from her discount for my dinner tonight and I'm settling in to watch the Oilers host the Anaheim Ducks. Its free LRT service in the city tonight and tomorrow but we got our bus pass for January. Happy New Year everyone, anyway that's all for now.
Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Clareview Edmonton Alberta, with our 2 cats etc. This blog is about my life, rants, politics, books, music production, Sports, some gaming, Freemasonry and some WTF-ish moments that give me pause.

One of the things I'm really going to buckle down and do for 2014
this is year is get my dental work done and get dentures. It's short term pain for long term gain. If I can get full anesthesia great, if not, ok. I want to get this done by this Spring.
The Oiler's lost in Phoenix because of a turnover. They could have gone into a shoot out but they blew it. Next game is Thursday and I'll be at lodge. Thank God!
I got word that one of our senior lodge members is recovering at home from a heart condition. It was suggested that some of the main officers get a card to have everyone sign Thursday. Good idea. The dollar ramma is open until 6pm tomorrow and I'll go over and find something nice on my way in.
I'm seriously thinking about taking out a account at LM for the Yamaha PSR s750 workstation. This has all I need and a couple of decent speakers as well at a affordable price. Anyway that's all for now.

Happy 2012 Bloggers!
Happy New Year to all my blog readers, family, coworkers and colleagues. Oh and even my few friends This is the first time I had to ring in the New Year, without Anne since t day we got married 11 years ago. Nothing serious, Anne is working at her call centre job taking Pizza orders. She’s working from 7:30pm last night until 4am this morning. There’s some perks that come along with the hours: Firstly, she gets paid double time from Midnight to Four am and the company will pay for her cab home, which is Ok. Bus service is running until 3am this morning and its free all day.
Usually local TV networks here show the last 5 minutes of the year and we see the last of Edmonton’s “First Night” especially the showcase being the fireworks but out of the 5 local networks, CFRN and CBC were absent. Channel 7 was showing a feed from Calgary of all places and Global was in Niagara falls. WTF? So we see no fireworks this year, nice to be on the ball guys. Thanks for the insult.
This year wasn’t a good year for me book reading wise: I read 5 books this year. “A game of thrones” will be for net year. But here are the books I read last year, taken from my webcam. That's Sparkey sleeping the New Year away.
This year, I plan on reading 1 book/month, well that’s the plan/ I’m going to read a lot more then this though. The best book I read this year was A. Lee Martinez “Automatic Detective.” The next book I plan on reading is “Space Vulture” Wolf/Meyers. But that’s after I’m done reading “A game of thrones.”
Hard to believe that if dad was alive today, he’d be 89 years old. He died at the age of 72 born January 1st 1922. I never met my grandfather. Mom or dad and one thing I’m going to do before I pass on is to do some genealogy since my family wont help me.
So it looks like I‘ll be able to pay off my Lodge dues for 2012 after all. At first I wasn’t because I figured, I’d be looking at about $60 and Anne said she’d give me $10 to help cover the cost of the dinner last night. It wasn’t necessary but it means I’ll be able to do that and have $20 left over to get me by until Friday. Also, WM emailed everyone and said how the EA candidate wont be able to make it for Thursday. I’m going to have an easy night Thursday, good stuff. Anyway, that’s about all for now.
