Tried to send this update yesterday, but the Berry died. Hopefully write more later today 
Archive for the “Josh” Categoryjosh’s posts Up early again today and took a train from Caen back to Rouen, then on to Dieppe. Really wanted to come here on my last trip but the timing didn’t work out. Unfortunately there’s not enough time to see much today though – the city buses only run every hour or so, and we won’t make it to the Canadian cemetary before the next train leaves for Arras. Got to see the beautiful waterfront though, so it’s been worth the stopover for sure! Photos likely won’t do it justice with all the fog hanging around, but the stoney beach, calm water, fishing boats and white cliffs are a sight to see. We could have easily fallen asleep down by the water and ended up spending the night I’m sure Our train to Arras leaves in an hour or so… very excited to get back there and show Kirsten around. The weather sure hasn’t been cooperating much, but at least it’s not raining anymore. Hopefully it’ll continue to improve over the week, and maybe we’ll even see the sun poke through once we get to Holland. Wishful thinking? aka Frankfurt, Rouen, Caen, on a French keyboard. So much for typing skills! We’re in Caen today, after a pretty whirlwind tour of Frankfurt and Rouen. We’ve been taking a pile of photos but there’s no card reader on this ‘Net Cafe PC. Le crap! At least my Blackberry is charging so I can hopefully do more posts from the road. Wishing my USB plug-in would’ve lasted a few more days before frying! Anyways, on to the good stuff… All checked into our hostel, and back at the train station now to plan our trip to France tomorrow. It’s an 8 hour time difference, so almost 2pm here is almost 6am at home, and we’re sure feeling it. Time for lunch, coffee and fresh air, and hopefully we’ll stay awake until a decent hour. More from Rouen, France tomorrow
 Five more days until we’re on de_plane. Regular posts and hopefully photos to follow What are your calls for Round 1? I don’t follow the East teams much, so I’m pretty much guessing. And don’t hate me for my Flames prediction… they did the opposite of what I thought in all 4 rounds in 2004, so I’m hoping that trend will continue this year. We need Regehr back! Boston vs Montreal – Boston in 6 (sorry Al) *As usual, this depends on which Flames team shows up. This could go to 7, but there would have to be a complete flip of how they played out the last part of the season. Go Flames! Have you heard of comedian Louis CK? This guy is awesome, in a sort of Bill Hicks commenting on society way, but without the screaming. Check it out: FROM SPACE!

MSGN hiatus is so over!!!Posted by: dave in Alan, Board Games, Games, Josh, Scott, daveYep, the games nights are back. What? you want details? So I’m hoping to beat Mr. Thunder to the punch here: The Dark Knight might have just surpassed Xmen 2 and Iron Man as my favorite comic book movie ever. It was everything it should have been: dark, violent (how did they manage to score a PG rating?), twisted, fast-paced, story-driven (not explosion-driven)… it was almost perfect. I really can’t wait for the next installment! The only thing that bugged me about the flick was Christian Bale’s Batman voice. I mean really, we know he’s tough, but that’s because of his actions, not his computer-tweaked growl. But hey, I can forgive that one little gripe for the awesomeness that is The Dark Knight! And the “but”: the trailer for Watchmen alone was worth the price of admission. That’s easily my most anticipated flick of next year, although the new Terminator might be pretty cool too. Everyone has until March now to take a read through the graphic novel… I’ll loan it out if you’re interested
From one of the best Web comics around… |
