I'm back in beautiful New Brunswick this evening for a week of working with a favourite client. This time the week in Saint John will be punctuated with one day in Fredericton. It was a lovely day to drive down to the airport from home, with the fields looking lushly green. The smooth (if slightly delayed) flight was made quite entertaining by a witty Westjet flight attendant. This is the second time I've made this trip on Westjet and both times the attitude of the staff has made a mundane experience very easy to take.

Yes, I do spend all of my working life and much of my recreational life on the 'net, but I'm always ready to be delighted by technology anew. This week's wonder in the candy store is the tracking service from Fedex. I ordered my new iPod (the Touch, not the Phone , cuz Rogers is getting enough of my money already) on the weekend and Apple kindly provided a link for me to track its progress. My new toy is taking an interesting trip. It left Kunshan, China, on Monday, got to Shanghai Tuesday, then Anchorage later the same day (although with the time zones, it seemed to go backwards a bit). This morning in the wee hours it arrived in Newark and already as I drink my morning tea, it sits tantalizingly in Mississauga. It's scheduled to make it into my hands by tomorrow.

I am sad to report that our pheasant chick, Creemore, met a grisly end with an unknown predator, likely a rodent, although my only basis for that conjecture is the size of the remaining entry points to the cage. Nature laughs at our crude barriers.
