Canada v USA always entertaining

I caught a glimpse of the Women's ice hockey game.  It was very fast tempo and highly entertaining.  I don't anything less when Canada v USA in sports.

Sochi Gay Olympians

Allegedly there are only 6 openly gay athletes, and they are all women.  Where are the men?

Here Comes the Snow

When I was walking home, I thought, where was the snow in the forecast.  Then I looked up, there it was.  They are good to look at, not so good to deal with the next day.

Minority Awareness is not a Privilege day

Mark mentioned about the library has a LGBT awareness/day and started ranting about 'why do they have a special day/months to dedicate to, where is the 'normal/ordinary' day?'.

Neil joined in, and moments later turned into the discussion about race.  Neil had a colleague, who was very bad at his work, and the employer gave him special treatment and afraid of firing him.

The ordinary people has no idea what prejudices minority faces, and they have no idea it is a privilege not having to deal with the prejudices and offensive remarks from these ignorant ordinary people.

There are still a lot of education works to do on these ordinary people. 

Broken Wrist

Austin was diagnosed as having a broken wrist, instead of a broken arm as he had originally thought.  In many ways, broken wrist is much worse than broken arm!

I take extra care to the fragile little bones in my wrist when I play tennis.  I have no doubt some of they are damaged, but lets hope I will never break my wrists, or any other bones.

I hope Austin gets well soon.

New Gear for New Season!

Perhaps I spend the most money this time of the year, my MOT, tax and insurance are all due this month.  Also this time of the year, motorcycle gear is often cheaper on ebay, as the actual season has not started.  I have got a new Shoei, a new pair of trousers.  I just need to get rid of my old gear and I will be sorted!

Frown Lines

I was looking out the dark window of the train, and saw my frown lines.  I must do something about it!
