Family reunion, support group meeting, conference???

There were so many ducks in the canal by Hog's Back this morning.  They all congregated in this one part between the locks.  I had a moment of fear that this meant something epic like the end of summer but maybe they are just having a family reunion...right?!?!
 

 
Love how this guy gave us a show.


Other items of note on my morning commute: it was a little chilly and damp this morning so I thought it wise to put on a t-shirt instead of my usual run top.  Apparently a couple of guys didn't get the memo and went running without their shirts on.  The first guy really should check himself out in the mirror before going out because his boobs...sorry, his pecks were moving up and down.  It is kind of like watching an accident, you can't look away.  The second guy was kind of boring after the first one.  Sorry dude.
 
Then there was the guy who passed me on his bike...don't they all...and he stood up to peddle faster and hmmmm, how to put this delicately?   I was having my usual thought of "how come guys all go faster than me and it looks like we are peddling the same speed?" Then it was: "Eww, unsighly sweat stains on his shorts." Then: "He really shouldn't wear grey shorts, black would be better."  Bit of a brain pause and then "OMG!  I'm wearing grey shorts too!!"  I'm going to make sure to wear black shorts from this day forward.
 
Question for you?  Are nuns allowed to run in shorts and a t-shirt?  Does God approve of this?  That is my philosophical question of the day.  I saw what I assume was a nun running in black shorts and a red t-shirt with what looked like a nun's habit on her head.  Good on her if she is a nun because it seems that it would be quite uncomfortable to run in full nun gear.

 
While Googling pictures of nun's running I came across this.  Doesn't it seem kind of mean to make a nun bowling game?

And while biking past the Court House I saw a big line up outside.  Took a moment to remember "Oh ya! Duffy trial is back on today."  Do you think some of those people took the day off just to hear Nigel Wright's testimony?  Probably.  Me, I can think of a lot more fun things to do with a day off.
 
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.  Oh, and I feel neglectful in not saying earlier that I am glad to hear that everyone at Nordion is safe after the fire last week.  Miss you all.

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handl...

Do birds yawn?

That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

Oh but I want these.

The boss is back from the UK today.  I wonder if he brought me back these gorgeous shoes?   I think I deserve them since it was my 6 month anniversary here on Monday, I'm a loyal, hardworking (most of the time), fun, friendly, engaging, reliable, fashionable....well, obviously I could go on but I'll stop...employee.  Maybe I should have put that in an email and sent it to him before he left London. Yesterday I followed a woman to the bus stop and I marvelled at how she seemed to be walking while trying to keep something between her knees.  Had to be that because why would you take such tiny little steps in life if not for that.  Is that a new inner thigh workout.  Maybe I should try it because mine could certainly use some toning.  Plus, really, it would take her a week to walk a block.  On top of that she had on a skirt that went to her ankles (so you couldn't actually see if there was something between her knees) and the pointiest...
