The Learning Curve

I've been spending the last couple of days trying to design my new web site. The designer in me is having tons of fun, but the technical side of me is getting frustrated with the code and software I'm using. I think the sleepy side of me just wants to call it quits.

I am starting to wonder if I've hit that "can't teach old dogs new tricks" stage! My attention span wanes once more...

On another note, I've discovered how much fun the winter can be. Yes, it's -35 degrees Celsius out today. Yes, we have slow commutes home due to all the snow. But what about how funny everyone looks today? Think about it!

When I'm commuting amongst the various winter-gear-clad travelers, I keep wondering if anyone I know were to recognize me, dressed as if I'm mushing snow dogs in Alaska. Being dressed in full-length parkas, large toques, and scarves up to our eyes, obscures our identities. It's like traveling incognito! So the next time you're feeling dismal about the cold state of affairs in our grand nation, hum the "Mission Impossible" theme to yourself and dart from subway car to subway car pretending to be a member of CSIS under deep cover. It's guaranteed to make you smile. (Or be escorted out by transit security personnel, but that's just an insignificant detail!)
