Lest We Forget

Well, for the first time in quite a long time, we had nice weather for Remembrance day. I was thinking about heading downtown to see the ceremony at the War Memorial but getting downtown and back to the west end isn't all that easy on Nov 11th and the crowds were even bigger this year since Prince Charles and Camilla were in town for the ceremony. I ended up sleeping in and waking up on time to watch CBC's broadcast. It was a nice tribute to our veterans and current military forces.

I find myself thinking about my Grampa on this day. He fought with the Canadian Forces Infantry in WWII on Juno Beach. He passed away 6 years ago just before his 100th birthday. I very proud of what he managed to accomplish and how he served all of us in Canada. Love you and miss you, Grampa!

I also spent some time with my Mom today. She came over to hang out with me and "the boys" (my two cats Sam and Biggie). We played some Rock Band and then went to do some grocery shopping. I forgot how good the samples are at Costco! hehehe

Now that I'm home and the groceries are way - it's time to relax and watch some TV. Wednesday is probably my favourite TV night. Thankfully I have a PVR (personal video recorder...aka digital video recorder) otherwise I don't think I would be able to watch all of the shows I like! I think I'm most excited about Glee and Modern Family. They're both quite funny (especially Modern Family) and I love all the singing and dancing in Glee. Yeah, I'm a geek at heart. haha

Anyway, I don't have much else to report. Tonight activities include having a bath, making my lunch for work tomorrow and maybe doing a bit of reading before I get to bed (hopefully early).

I hope everyone had a good Remembrance Day (or Veteran's Day for anyone south of the border) in whatever way you chose to commemorate.

Until tomorrow,
