Cuban 1yr Update

To the best of my recollection here is what has transpired over the past year:

  • 3 more robberies, including one safe that was stolen and one room broken into while the guy was sleeping in bed
  • One of the guys had a baby daughter with his Cuban girlfriend
  • 200-300 people have been put in jail from the city I work in due to various allegations about the performance of his/her job
  • My Cuban boss was terminated for something that happened in her previously employment and had nothing to do with anything she could control
  • Expat got sent home for being caught with his chica in his room, 2 weeks prior to him going home for cancer treatment
  • One of my best friends is also being treated for cancer back home.  Very hard to be away from all that.
  • Traveled a lot.  I racked up just over 100,000 flight miles this year.  Not points, actual mile flown.
  • Hit Vegas 2 more times, Hawaii, and the Bahamas.
  • Planned and booked trip to Chile and Argentina for February.  It's going to be a slobber knocker of a trip.
  • Canned chicken breast from Costco is awesome
  • Found some kind of meat to grind up to make hamburger. I'm really hoping it's beef.
  • Received an E-reader as a birthday present and it might have been the best gift I've ever received
  • Spanish is improving but not like it should
  • Stewie has turned into an almost reasonable cat

Strange Day

Most of you are still probably a sleep as I write and post this.  Today is Remembrance Day in Canada.  Some of us probably hardly think about it.  I've honoured and or celebrated this day in my own way since University.  It was always a holiday so you have the freedom to do what you want.  Now I could get all philosophical about the use of the word freedom and how it relates to this day but I won't. Not today anyways. Post university I have had to work on this day even in Canada.  It may have been a holiday but I had work to do.  For some reason the weather on this day was always grey and gloomy.  Some years when I could, I would golf.  The weather wasn't great for golf but it was nice to be alone with your thoughts on this day.  I think the grayness and the wetness that would be part of it made it more enjoyable. So what's the point of this post?  Today is a truly Canadian holiday.  It is ours.  It was created by us for us.  It doesn't set out to honour the Mon

It's Been a Long Time Since I Left You

I bet a lot of people live their entire life's without having as many stories to tell as it would appear that I'm going to have. I've taken a long break from writing.  I took a break for numerous reasons. Let's start with a list. This blog became too public and I have private thoughts that I didn't need shared. I don't like to air my grievances in public.  If I'm having issues with somebody I tell it to them.  If I'm having a problem in a relationship, I don't feel the need to share it with everybody. Life was going through changes and it wasn't required to be shared all around. I think there are a lot of the same themes in there, but hey it's my list I can do what I want. So why am I back?  Not sure.  I took a spin through this old blog a few weeks ago and thought about giving it a go again.  I'm secretly hoping nobody is reading this as it's for me.  If they are, I'm sure they will let me know, or not, up to th
