I started catching up on the blogs I read this week and discovered a lot has happened.

Scott at The Sorry Centrist so thoughtfully included me in his Top Thirteen Hottest Women Bloggers List.  I can only assume that Scott is Blind or his definition of hot extends far beyond physical beauty;) AND he used a terrible picture of me, but I forgive him as he did say nice things and mentioned basketball;)

Then Dan at BrikWall is examining his life and looking at what would be a fulfilling career for him. I enjoy his blog musings and he takes amazing photos. I think he’d be great to hire for taking fabulous family photos. Not the boring, sit on a stool, posed look. But the kind of photos that capture your children’s essence in play and life.

Skylark had an amazing youtube video up on her site. It shows the power of the human touch. Of how something as simple as a hug can bring people together. A man with a sign asking for free hugs stood in a busy city area. Most people walked by, but after a while someone took the first step. And then it went from there. It seemed to take one person (mostly women initially) to start the process. And then others were also sharing the sign and giving and receiving hugs. And of course, we can’t have people hugging each other in public places, so the police had to come and put a stop to it. They banned hugs. This led to a petition that resulted in the ban being overturned. In some ways, it baffles me that they had to create a petition. But at the same time, it brought a lot of people together that wouldn’t have otherwise, and I suspect it’s changed people’s way of looking at a hug.

I caught a bit of the CBC news that did the profile on Charles LeBlanc. I have to say that the video footage they showed certainly leaned towards Charles being treated unfairly and that the police lumped him in with the protesters. I checked out his summary of the court case on his blog.

I’m still getting caught up on the rest of you:)

And yes, halloween pics from this week;

Alec the Alien and Bram the Bunny.

 

Snagged from Andrea. I can pretend I’m finally cool and popular, lol.

 

Who knew my recent post saying we needed someone with php and ajax skills would be responded to so quickly. Here’s a response I received by email today. It’s definitely good for a laugh;)

I’m writing to offer my services for the full-time job as I have great experience in both php and ajax.

I’ve had php (post-hormonal palpitations) since 1989, which makes me, I’m sure, an expert at it.  That, combined with my maturity and grey hair, could only benefit your organization.  As for Ajax, I must admit that I use Comet instead but I do manage to get my sinks really, really clean.  While the color and the odor are not quite the same,  the results are achieved, nonetheless.

Discovered this blog through a link from Charles Leblanc’s blog. It’s great writing and some interesting thoughts on life, religion, politics and more.

So while I’m in Moncton for the wellness expo, I’ve got a hot date. I may even share the torrid details with everyone when I get back;) It’s bound to be blog worthy for sure. It’s been a while since I’ve had a date exposé to share;)
