Burton's back




Renfrew Nativity scene is set up for another year- I still think Joseph looks like a young Burton Cummings of the Guess Who. Just put Burton in a gold robe and it's pretty close. I THINK, though, that Joseph should probably have a beard...




Jamie was out yesterday to drop off the truck and pick up his car. His move is over and he is very happy with the apartment. He and Julie are in the process of getting everything set up - they have recently discovered the Dollar stores and Giant Tiger for cheap goods. I always say it doesn't matter anymore whether you shop at Pier 1 imports or Dollarama - all the freaking stuff comes from China anyway! I saw a documentary on China the other day - there is a whole village that does very well doing nothing but making Mardi Gras beads.

We had intended to go into Renfrew to watch the Santa Claus parade (it's kind of fun) but Jamie's visit distracted us and we missed it.

Last night night was our office Christmas Party. We have tried different venues - this year the boss paid for rooms at a hotel and dinner at a bar and grill called Crazy Horse. They serve steak on a square of 750 degree lava rock that lets you cook your own steak. A novel idea - surprised they can get liability insurance, though - y'know beer and 750 degree rocks???? The 3 or 4 bouncers at the door (we knew they were bouncers, cuz they had coats with "Bouncer" written on the backs) anyway, generally the presence of bouncer indicates a fairly "lively" bar - add hot lava rocks and, hey, you've got a PART-EE!

Tonight we're over to a neighbours for a small neighbourhood get together. Can't be late, though - tomorrow I have a very busy day starting with an 8 a.m. inspection, then another inspection at noon and out to Eganville for the afternoon to show houses.

Today's picture is Joseph aka Burton Cummings and the real Burton Cummings - I think there is a real resemblance!!!
