Update

Monday was Turkey Day here in Canada. Had a great time at my sister's. Ate, drank and talked. Some of my favorite things.

We had an election yesterday. The outcome wasn't a surprise. Thanks to gerrymandering, attack ads and a rather unethical use of taxpayer's money the neo-Marxists, sorry, Conservatives, improved their position. At least they've still got a minority.

The pliable party, I mean the Liberals, kinda took it in the balls. Not surprising. The guy leading them is a nice guy and very smart but a piss poor leader.

The silver spoon socialists, I mean the NDP, improved their standing. Unfortunately they don't represent the blue collar workers and farmers that they used to. In some ways it's not surprising as there's a lot less of those people in Canada than there used to be. But somebody has to be concerned about the lives of those folk that are involved with physical labor. Everybody else depends on them.

Ah well. C'est la vie.

On the positive side I've started a new writing project. I'm working with another author at one of my e-publishers on a historical vampire novel (we hope) set in 1788 London. I'm writing the hero's part and she's doing the heroine's. I was very flattered when she insisted that I be her co-author. She's a very good and prolific writer. I hope I'll be able to hold up my end of the bargain.

That's it. Have a good one.
