COLD!

We are currently suffering through a serious cold snap. It hasn't gone above -22 in a week and a half. brrrr.
Went to a geocaching party on Friday at the Elephant and Castle. These pub nights are a hoot. It was nice to have it there, as there was alot less noise. The Kings Head last month was huge fun, but it would have been nicer to be able to hear what was going on.
I got to meet Manitoba Merv. The local version of Punxatawney Phil, the verminesque meteorologist. Usually I can get rather starstruck around celebrities, but I felt comfortable enough to stuff my hand inside him within 10 seconds of being introduced. He seemed receptive. I forecast 6 weeks of lovesickness for that poor rodent.
I bought a new playstation this past weekend. No, not the PS3. I am not quite that crazy. I just wanted to replace the old broken PS2 so I could play Ratchet, and Sly, and Jak. And what did I see when I visited the store? A new Sly Cooper game! Well, allllll riiiight! So far I like it, it even has a 3D option for some of the levels. I just don't know if I'm ready to have my wife make fun of me for playing video games AND wearing 3D glasses.
