Hey, this week’s New Yorker has a cover drawn by comic book genius Chris Ware. Check it out!

So, $30 (and a $300 credit card deposit) later, I’ve scored a Playstation 2, for 2 days. My local Blockbuster has 4 of them, and I was lucky enough to be there when one was being returned, as they’ve been very popular. I got two games as well, Ridge Racer V, which is pretty good, and Madden 2001, which is absolutely breathtaking. Tonight I’m going to watch a DVD or two.

I had an entry half completed today and then work caught up with me again. Just finished a 14 hour day at the office, and so not in the proper frame of mind to tell you all how wonderful Newfoundland was. I will tell you soon.

When it rains, it pours. Please send Elise some love.

Brooke and I spent this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving) at her parents’
house in Collingwood, Ontario, about 2 hours north of Toronto. On Sunday
night, it started snowing, and although I thought it would all be gone by
Monday morning, this is what we saw. I think this is the earliest I’ve ever seen snow on the ground. Mind you, Collingwood is in the heart of ski country in Ontario, and they get more snow than most places. Still, snow in October?

Well, here I am back from my jog, thoroughly defeated. My first stab at jogging since 1998, and I last precisely 5 minutes. The past two years have not been kind to my body. I’ve put on about 20 useless pounds, and in my zeal to avoid paying money to run on a treadmill beside the other lab rats, I decided to hit the pavement again. I hardly had time to break a sweat before my heart began pounding, my head began spinning, and my legs began turning to jelly. It’s humiliating. I guess now my grand goal of running a half hour each night will have to be scaled back, to about 10 minutes every two nights, at least until my heart and I get onto the same page.

I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled…
