A lot of bird was consumed, some arguments over the shootout were made, and some turnips were eaten. It was a nice time of friends, foes, and family. One thing that came up [...]

Got off work last night and went for dinner with Wendy and Mark which was an experience in itself. We have never tried the Spadina Freehouse and have always wanted to go but was told by several people that the food is not that good and is a better bar than restaurant and not to [...]

Thankfully Wendy is driving today. I can sleep. Notre Dame won. Win #800. Am spending a quiet Thanksgiving this year. [...]

What a night. After spending another night in the Hilton for free, we headed over to our hotel to find out that they didn’t have a reservation for us for Saturday night, despite Jeb, Todd, and I all specifically saying we were leaving Sunday. There were no hotel rooms within 70 miles of Boston. We [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! Off to speak in Spiritwood and then to Edmonton to drop off the boy with Lloyd and Cathy. Will be back in 14 hours. Also, if you sent any e-mail to coop@jordoncooper.com in the last two days, I haven’t got it but it is working now (forgot to renew domain). Sorry about that.
