Classy
Chomping down on a buttered roll Bush avoids choking and gives his plan for peace in the middle east.
Hot and Breezy
It's crazy how hot it feels even with this strong wind. The wind is like an autumn wind. It howls and shakes the trees but nonetheless the air is what you get when you open the door to the oven. Leslie called from O'Hare a little while ago. The air conditioning in the airport has been down for a week.
Off to the airport in one hour. It's so easy to get to the airport in Ottawa. Down Laurier and straight up Bronson and voila!

Leslie Will Be Here Soon
These are long days. I get up at 5:30, start work at 7:30 and get home at 5:00. However tonight Leslie will be here. Unfortunately it's one of the hottest days of the year. It's been as high as 45C in Boulder so she should be able to handle it.
I can't wait for September not only because of you know what , but also because this god awful dog killing heat will be gone. I am not a warm weather person by any means. I like a nip in the air and an evening chill. So does my honey.

Delayed Growth
I've fallen behind in the herb documentation. The Basil is far larger than what you see. I'll try to catch up next week when Leslie is here!!! Maybe we will make pesto of it.

Satisfaction
On the one hand it's really strange to go from just getting by to being comfortably middle class overnight. On the other I worked very hard to develop the skills I have and have accumulated alot of experience over the last few years. In that regard things are going as planned. It's very satisfying to have made the shift. This really has been the year where everything has come together. I get paid fulltime to do what I love, with full benefits. It's sweet as the kids say.
And to boot, Leslie will be here this time next Monday. Of course the two things are related. It's great to have money.

Changes
Big changes in Shamus world. I have a new fulltime permanent position as web designer/graphic designer for a well established local company. It's going to be a nice change from the freelance world. Other big news forthcoming this fall.
