Greeting and Salutations!
Figured I should touch base... not really much to update tho.... for better or for worse (I'm going to say mostly better).
Had a pretty kick-ass 30th. Ended up priming (maybe too much) at the Beryls and then hitting up the Live Lounge for my party. There was a lot of booze, sadly I do not remember as much as I should. But the gang had fun and I didn't die so I'll rule the night a great success.
Went to see Hey Rosetta! a few weeks later. They put on a great show. Unfortunately we got a little confused on the actual start time (doors opened at 7 instead of 8 like we thought) and we ended up missing the opening act and the first few songs of their show.... we were also confined to the very back of the room. So, they put off a great show and we had fun but that was a bit of a flub on our part. Ah well!
The following night, Mike and Em got hitched! They had a really nice ceremony and reception out at the Brittania Beach Yacht Club. They seemed really happy which was the most important part.
Had a pretty good St. Paddy's day... we ended up going to the Standard on Elgin which had $3.50 pints of Guinness, which you really can't go wrong with! We had a good evening, although it's obvious we're getting old when we're all home by 11pm. But in our defense we started at 4. I had fun anyway.
No news on the job front. I've been a dummy and not been as diligent as I should be. I looks like the room mates, my gf and I are going to stay put here in our apartment until the end of summer, so I've got a bit of breathing room (maybe a bad thing) in terms of timing. I'll keep you posted on progress.... I really need to be getting something soon!
Family's good... Danny and his gf Sam just bought a house in GFW. Jason just got a scholarship and a work term with Exxon in St. John's for the summer. Weasel is doing well with the NL Special Olympics and is bowling up a storm, among other things. I'm proud of my siblings! I don't tell them often enough!
Anyway... time to hit the road. Going to head to the rink early today and get some practice in before the 5pm draw. I wasn't pleased with my performance last week and I'm looking to bounce back. I'm (we're) only 2 pts out of 2nd place (and the prizes) with only a couple games left.... I'd like a strong finish!
Cheers!

2011!
Happy New Year!
Been some time, I know. Might as well recap what I can recall..
The fishing trip I mentioned in the last post was a bust... well... in terms of actual fish catching. Otherwise it was a kickass weekend in the woods with the boys. OMR managed to forget his sleeping bag... I think it went down to like 4 degrees overnight. What a guy.
Moved in with my lady in October. Big step. Sort of. I mean, essentially we've been living together pretty much since jump street, we just alternated between staying at each others places. So, in a nutshell, the only difference is paying less rent. I'll take it! I'm pleased to report that things are going well. I've managed to find a woman who can stand to be around me for more than 6 consecutive minutes, so naturally I intend to hold on to her like grim death. Again, a joke. Things are good on the love front. That is all.
Brought her home to meet the family at Christmas. All went well. Mom liked her, which I'm pretty sure is all that matters. Matt & Dana got hitched in St. John's over the holidays. Kickass time. Great to see everyone. Kind of like a mini-reunion, but like always, was too short.
Still gainfully unemployed. I think this has to be some kind of a record. Anyway... I know, I know, I'm an idiot. We're going to be looking for a new place in the spring, so I need to get my act together in the next month or so to make sure that process runs smoothly. I'm thinking about something in technical sales, but we'll see what's available and go from there.
Curling is going well... playing twice a week now. Skipping on Sundays which is a lot of fun, but challenging. I'm going to try and start teaching some of the new folks in the spare hour before our evening game. Not sure how good of a curling instructor I'll be, but it's something that people have said they want and I'm pretty sure I can do. Fun times.
Turning the big 3-0 in less than 2 weeks now. Pretty wild. I'm not really freaked out.... but it definitely feels a little strange. At the end of the day, I always say that age is just a number. But this is a big number. Anyway... you're only as old as you feel and I sure as hell don't feel all that old, so I'm happy with that.
Anyway... that's my spiel for now. Hope all is well with you, my readers, wherever you are. All the best for 2011!
Cheers,
Reid
