Not much new to report other than work is going well in Chicago and that I hate my hotel, but since it's the cheapest and the closest I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.

Last weekend I went to Mexico and had yet another great, albeit short, weekend visiting Sofi. On Saturday we went to a family gathering for her Grandma's birthday and it was a good time. That night we caught Swordfish on the TV and I have to report that it wasn't good. The elements of a good movie were there, like parts of a great action movie and good actors, but the bottom line is that the movie had no idea what its subject matter was all about. Maybe other people wouldn't notice, but the writers had no clue about the Internet or computers, and the entire plot revolved around them! Not a recipe for a quality movie! It was too bad because with a little refactoring it might have been entertaining. The company was great so at least the experience was a good one! The weekend as a whole was pretty much fantastic, and I'm hoping to make it back there at least once more before the end of the year, but we'll see.

I'm heading to the airport later today to catch a flight back to Regina for the American Thanksgiving holiday. Tomorrow morning Nick is picking me up and we're heading back to Maple Creek for a few days of elk and mule deer hunting. I'm going to be back in Regina on Sunday just in time to fly back to Chicago Monday morning!
