Good afternoon, Marija! Of course you can have hot chocolate and cookies. What kind of other chocolate: mil or dark, with or without chili pepper bits?

Charlie... I haven't eaten any kind of chocolate or chocolate cookies for about two months now .....

eta: still on the diet I mentioned back then... I've just started to include some fruits.. that's my sugar intake

OK. Would you like an apple, a peach or some strawberries?

NOTHING!!!

kidding... the truth is that I'm starting to be used to this food.

fruits are my desert

what is good about this diet (although I highly doubt I could live 100% this way) is that the sour apple is actually too sweet for me now. any small amount of any kind of sugar has a strong taste

and I'm going to a 4 day conference on Friday

Actually, last year on that conference I met Leo, Chris and Lew via Skype

oh there's plenty for you also!

good you don't have miso

How are you today Paul?

Well, winter in the north-east corner of the continent is not so much fun, with very cold temperatures and dumps of snow. Last night, the temperature was -23C, it "might" rise to a high of -13C today. We've been spared most of the snow that passed to the west (30cm+) and east (40-60cm) of us, but the very cold temperatures mean that tire adhesion is minimal on dry pavement, and practically non-existent with a layer of snow. The "rush" hour was more of a "crawl at walking pace" and the "hour" stretched into all evening. Lots of cars spung out even with the slow pace, so every major highway had two or three single-vehicle accidents that needed extracting, further slowing things down. Normally, I'd be out cross-country skiing but -19C temperatures and -30C+ windchill really makes it difficult to make it enjoyable.

Also, it's tax time. Another fun activity. Heading over to the accountant this morning with the official financials for the company I run. There's something perverse about a system that makes one work so hard just to give justification for the government to take a larger share of whatever income one can come up with. On the other hand, it's probably better than them just deciding they want what we have and helping themselves to it. I do like the form of government we have, but I get grumpy at tax time. Sorry.

As for miso... it's kinda funny, but I'm quite deaf and hearing annoying noises is not one of my life's complaints. However, my wife's hearing is perfect as she can hear me thinking two rooms away. Fortunately, I have not been smothered in my sleep, given the number of noises a human body can make especially when sleeping, and her saintly tolerance of all my idiosyncrasies.

Morning, hosers! Working home today and hiding out from the cold. No coffee yet as I haven't been up that long. Need to check in with work (in progress on work computer) and then see about coffee. Should be a pretty slow day, so a good day to be home and take care of some other things.

Morning hoser crew............................ awake at 6:30, still laying in bed at 8:15. Need to get up and go look at a couple of apartments. Even though our divorce is 'cordial', it's just time to get my own place. Now go out there and have a great day!!!

Hang in there.

I'm trying. It's hard. Once I get my stuff (sometime within the hour I think) I'll feel better. For now.
