Today marks the

25th aniveray of 9/11. It was on this day (Tuesday) when Two planes, hijacked by Islamic jihadists vowing death to all Americans terrorists collided both planes into both towers, Flight 73 and one into the US Pentagon. I was just coming into work on the bus at Xentel. I was 49 years old. I wasn’t even a Mason then. Anne and I were living at Capital Place apartments. She was training at the Royal Canadian Legion at the time. Crazy days. I still had Silky/Pledges. Lots of memories. 


This evening ~ 6:30pm, Gord is picking me up for Scottish Rite (Rose Croix) The festive board is free. It's usually a 2 hour meeting. In and out. I'm home by ~ 9:30pm and I'll be able to watch Smackdown. Saturday at 5pm, is the Labour day classic rematch. Calgary
Stampederes/Edmonton Elks, CFL football. Can we make it 10-3? Anyway, that's all for now.

Last night Anne decided to

take a dry run, or to reconnoiter a trip to Mill Woods Tims at Main Street mall. She said the difference between the Mill Woods location and Corona Station Mill woods, is like 30 minutes. That's actually pretty good. if we get on that Drive Happiness program, she won't need to worry about that any more. Its a flat rate, not billed like cab. This would be great to take me to Al Shmal.

I was watching this bit on local news that the South East Seniors Association (Holyrood) has a lot of programs. 

They have a music program. I'd love to learn how to play Saxaphone or something. Looks like they are very busy.

Yesterday afternoon I got this free App called Pendulum. It not only works with iPhone/iPad but also works on the desktop. Its a genreative. Create mesmerizing pendulum music! Arrange multiple pendulums, make unique rhythms and melodies, and enjoy the harmony of physics and aesthetics. To unlock the AuV3 version for AUM is less then $2.00. Anyway, that's all for now.

One of the most

difficult things I've ever had to do with computers is to sign into my Microsoft account. It's not a straight forward process. My work job relies on Microsoft Teams. 

Its not so much Microsoft but I'm getting to the point that my work is cutting into my rent. The Alberta Government claws back what I make. Not just that, but my energy level is dropping. I'm lucky I get 5 

hours of sleep over 2 sessions. A 5 hour shift on this old man just about wipes me out. I got one more work project in me and that's just going to be 3 days/week, 3 hour days. I'll make an announcement at the Christmass staff party and bring my work laptop. 

Friday night I have my monthly Scottish Rite to go to, and after that Smackdown rewind when I get home. Saturday is the Calgary/Elks labour day classic rematch. Looks like a nice week and weekend shaping up. Anyway, that's all for now.

I have some memories

of 1970. I was at home listening on our radio intercom the break up of The Beatles. I was in shock that weekend. I recall going to that camping trip with a friend of mine, to "Otter lake." Not sure where that even was. I remember I shit my pants along the way. I had no money but Lemonaid was a dime at the resturant they had. I was still in HS Centennial 1970. We were at Regan Ave in those days.


Yesterday's Elks at Calgary CFL game, started out slow for the Green & Gold. Keep in mind Elks had 16 days off, and were out of sync the first half. First Quarter was 0-4 Stamps. 2nd Q 14-7 Stamps. Did that long layover do us in? 3rd Q 211-14 4th Q Elks got 17 points. Elks ended up winning 31-28. Elks Host the Stamps again Saturday 5pm. Looking forward to that one.

I think this next work project will be my last. Not that I don't like the job, but its cutting into my Alberta pension. The job is hard on me as its draining me. Anyway, that's all for now.

WWE's Sunday night main

event wasn't bad but it was kind of Lame. The Vision match was unexpected. The main event was as well. On a scale from 1-5, I'd rate it at 3pm.

I'm having trouble signing into my Microsoft Outlook accout. When it asks for my recent Password change it says cant sign in. 
I've watched a lot of you tube videos about this. It seems the only way to sign in is through a code and even then getting that is hit and miss. I'm sure Microsoft is aware of this issue. 
                                                         
This afternoon at 4pm is the CFL Labour day Classic. Elks/Calgary (4pm today) and Friday Elks host the Stampeders at Comminwealth. We might even sweep this series.

Sorry I haven't been posting

lately. It's been an interesting couple of days. Lodge last night was "educational" from my POV. Apparently, the DDGM does not have officers, it's the District Grand Master that has appointed officers. I think the more Masonic bodies I belong to will get me noticed more often. Up next Cryptic Rite. Part of Royal Arch system. 


Cant think of a graphic to add to this post. Other then that not much going on this weekend, thank God. Although anything can happen at anytime. Expect the unexpected. Anyway that's all for now.

I slept for much of the

afternoon yesterday and after dinner, I ended up watching Monday night Raw, which was over by 7:45pm. What with WWE's Main event Sunday is probably why the abreivated show last night. IDK.

Over 2 sessions I had just over 7 hours of sleep yesterday. That was aided by a Malatonin assist. But a bite to eat 

and a massage of my lower legs before bed helped to keep the RLS wolves at bay

Right now, I'm sipping my "sleep tea" as Anne calls it, a bit of You Tube, up out of the chair to get my steps. I usually like to do 1500 steps before bed, and minimum of 2k steps per day. Anyway, that's all for now.
