Changing Tides
The holiday season is here and it seems busier than ever (at least to me, anyway), but even with this mad rush it is important to stop and give back to those less fortunate than you. So, in the spirit of the season, I have decided that it is time to do just that. Please join me in helping to raise money for Plan's "Clean Water" program. I don't have to tell you how important access to clean water is, though I will say that Plan's work is invaluable in pioneering new water programs that enrich community lives around the world. Answer the call. Donate to the cause and, please, spread the word. Thank you.

As The Snow Falls
Today marked the first snow fall of the season!! We made it through last month as a no-snow-November. This hasn't happened since 1933, they say. Fortunately for me the snow didn't stay because, clearly, I wasn't ready for it.Unlike, the large, beautiful snowflakes one dreams about (when they don't have to be out and about in it), today's snow was wet, cold and miserable. Adding to this misery was the fact that my boots didn't fit when I tried them on this morning and while rushing out the door, I left my umbrella at home. You can imagine that when I arrived at work I had soaked hair, feet and jacket. (brrr) By the time I left work, however, the snow and flood-pools had mostly gone.
Right now, I am in de-stress mode, warming at home in my trackpants and hoodie, and listening to "Christmas Chants" by Gregorian. Awesome album. (If your into classical Christmas music, this is a must!! I got my copy via. iTunes.)
Twitter Discussion
So, "itsonlymarvin" is my new Twitter username. Sub. me/add me...whatever. You know what to do if you're already on Twitter. If, however, you aren't well you should be. Seriously, though, if you aren't create an account. Its a lot of fun. :-)
Found this book called "The Little Food Book" by Craig Sams. Join my bookclub (on Twitter) and become healthy and fit. Bring on ur food discussion topics. Lets chat.
all hallows eve
What did you do for All Hallows Eve? This year, I worked from 9AM to 4PM and and then celebrated with my parents and a bottle of Fireball (my new favorite liquor). I was challenged to drink the bottle. Its looking pretty good. Chances are I may do it.As I said, I worked today and two people actually dressed up for it. I feel bad that I didn't. When I got home I quickly changed into my Leafs jersey and Senators t-shirt. Thinking back, though, I regret not going to work dressed in my hockey garb. Oh well, there's always next year...
Here are some pix of Halloween around my neighborhood.
More bus stories...
On a wet and rainy day, I thought I had left in time to catch my bus. I was wrong... maybe.
I was walking down the street, (admittedly, talking on my phone), when suddenly the bus went by. Either it was early or I was late. (I still don't know which.) However, it just so happens that my parents don't live too far away, so I detoured and asked if either of them would give me a ride to work (or to at least help me catch up to the bus I missed). My mother begrudgingly agreed. We started on our way when suddenly she saw a bus in the distance. Seeing that the bus was about to stop, I got out of the car and waved her on. Half a second later, I discovered that this particular bus was "not in service".
The driver, however, looked at me and realized that I was stranded and then graciously asked where I was going and if he could give me a lift, so I got on board. He asked if I was going to work (which I was) and if I was going to be late (which I might have been if he hadn't decided to stop for me). Eventually, we caught up to the right bus and I jumped on board as if nothing had gone wrong this morning. I made it to work with time to spare, but I'm still having a hard time figuring out this supposed "time warp". I'm really not sure how I made it to work on time.

About Marvin's Story
- ghost
- No, my name isn't really Marvin. The name comes from THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Still confused? "Marvin" (in case you don't know) 'is the paranoid android who is afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet" which he is seldom able to use'. Does that help? Meh. Before you say it... No I don't think I have the brain that Marvin has and nor do I have a swelled head. At least, I don't think I have a swelled head... You be the judge.
