Let there be pie or "Canned Heat"

Some cool things happen in Ontario in the fall; the leaves turn colours, the weather becomes crisp and cool, and all the food that was harvested just a short time ago turns into pie, wonderful PIE!!!

Mary & I rented a car this weekend and we "goin up to country" to a farm to see what pies we could get. And pies we got, caramel-apple and apple crumble along with some jams, mustard and horse raddish. What a haul. After a quick 1/2hr on the farm, we were about to turn back for the city, but instead we decided "have car, will travel" so we just started driving. I'm not sure where we inteded to get to, but we eventually found the Caledon Badlands, (scroll down to see the right pic) vastly different (but in someways similar) from the badlands that Jeffie-boy got to experience during his lengthier road trip. Anyway, turned out to be really cool, wish we had brought the camera, but oh well.

Travelling further along we got some great vistas of leaves turning wonderful colours and ended up in the antiqueing mecca of Belfountain. They were selling sweets there too, which I could have gone for, but the line-up was particularly long so we just looked around, some nice stuff, some strange, and other just old stuff that belongs at a garage sale but they call it antique so they can sell it at a higher price.

After that, more great vistas of the rolling hills & the leaves and then back to the reality of civilization where we had to do some shopping.

All in all a great weekend, thanks to pie!!

Pass the blackberry on the left hand side, or the sky is falling

Hey everyone,

Simone, I'll just reply to your comment here, not sure where the line is from but the only one I can remember digging is from Goodfellas.

Anyway, I'm now working for a part of the government that is planning for all hell to break loose, well, more for in the event that it does. So, in that respect they've given me a blackberry and a cell phone, and possibly soon a laptop as well. What does this mean, my private/work life are are slowly merging into one entity. Also, in the envet that the shit hits the fan, I'll be one of the people busily trying to catch it all, well, with my fellow branch members along for the ride.

I'm in the middle of reviewing a plan right now, well, I was just reviewing one. Oh yeah, I'm still having trouble getting my contacts list sorted out so I can email everyone, but the system is giving me hassles, and now I don't have access to my personal drive, but I did yesterday, argh, what a mess.

Well, that's it for today.

Back in the Saddle

Hey everyone,

I'm back working again!! Got to keep this post short as this is this is only my 1st real working day. Last week they sent me on a course, with a final exam at the end!! This time I'm working for another ministry with the Ontario Government. It will be my job to ensure that other ministries have a plan to deal with any kind of emergency that will mean a disruption in service.

I have a new email address and it is exactly the same as the last one, excep where there used to be an "edu", you can put "mgs".

I'll try to send emails soon, but I'm having problems transfering my contact list to my new outlook. In the meantime, I'll be looking to boosting everyone's hit count on their web sites. Ahh it's good to be back!!

Talk to you all soon!!

The Cool AGE:)
