Never in the history of my life have I ever experienced anything quite like Quebec City.  Generally I am lucky to have one gourmet dinner in a six month period.  This was five nights in a row of gourmet dinners.  By the end I felt like a pompous wine touting yuppie.  "Oh this foie gras was not nearly as exquisite as the second night.  They must receive a slap with my gloved hand."

Old Quebec City has the exact same type of feel as Europe.  They have done a masterful job of giving people the sense that they are in France within Canada.  Probably the most beautiful city I have been to in Canada.

Aquarium - There is a rule in Quebec City.  You must have the largest kids stroller possible.  It needs to take up most or all of the hallway.

Chateau Frontenac - One beer = $22.00

Alex Rodriguez received a suspension for his part in the biogenesis nonsense.  Doesn't he have the same feel as the Kardashian family.  The why the f*** do we keep talking about him everyday, he hasn't done anything in 4 years type feel.

When people recommend bands to me.  Sometimes I wonder if they know anything about me or know anything about music.  "Oh yes, his screaming is really top notch there.  Doesn't make me want to rip my ears off with side of a sharpened encyclopedia at all."


Recently went to a board game night for charity.  Hope Spring Cancer Home was broken into and robbed of all their electronics.  Nintendo stepped up to bat and replaced all their Wii's, and the board game night was a huge success.  Even though my attempts of being Merlin in Avalon were mediocre at best.  It was still a fine evening.


Going to a wedding this coming weekend.  It's a Portuguese wedding, it's a free bar wedding, there will be many people that I know at this wedding, and Chuck Taylor's for the multiple dance offs that I will be challenged to. If you need to get a hold of me Sunday, please use the usual Heineken symbol in the sky.  My phone will be turned off on Sunday after this wedding.

NFL is starting within the next month.  Sara has given me tickets to the Thanksgiving game in Detroit against Green Bay.  I have tried multiple times to go to this game, but something always gets in the way.  This time I will not be foiled.  If I have to throw coffee grinds into the eyes of the people that try to prevent me of going I will do just that.

You are a sewing kit is an insult that has been directed against me recently.  It stopped me in my tracks.  Touche!

My French is extremely weak for having been taught it for so many years.  Mr. Marchitto would be disappointed with this, but thoroughly impressed with my wine drinking skills.

Is this true for anyone else?  Every time you try to play catch with your wife or girlfriend in any sport that it always ends in injury?


Always thought Darth Vader would be a cool costume to do at a convention.  One thing that I would change though is that my deep breathing would be similar to a porno just to throw people off.


You know what Candy Crush?  Just for making me have to send invites to unlock the next episode.  I am not going to play you for three hours.


If you want to have people come to your museums, and you really enjoy the company of people that also like Scifi conventions.  Have a costume area in the basement of your museum with props that people can play with.  "Oh I didn't freak the kids out too much.  They enjoyed the company of a 35 year old man dressed in old timey outfits that hadn't shaved in five days."
