We are back in our hometown of Winnipeg, for yet another shotgun visit of family.

OK, I should just clarify that even though we are in the prairies of Manitoba, we do not have shotguns – that was just an expression for the short window/rush job of visiting we have to do, while we are here for a business trip that Mrs. That Dan Guy periodically must take.

As both our families live here, we combine business with pleasure, and race like weevils to squeeze in everyone we can. I may even go hunting for collectibles Tuesday afternoon – one never knows what sort of trouble we can get in to.

One highlight this time is a fishing trip tomorrow. My brother-in-law and I are veterans of the waterways, inspiring the likes of famous TV fishing show personalities, and young Canadian children. When we hit the marshes of Manitoba, the fish get scared. Very scared. I’m surprised we’ve never turned to commercial fishing, considering our gifts with rod and reel.

Cigars, beer, and creel. What more does man need?

On another note, I give thanks to my niece, for alerting me to a vitally-needed piece of technology that I intend on picking up sometime over the next days (or hours, depending on how successful I am with distracting MTDG). Long have I lived in darkness, and now I know exactly what I need to illuminate my humble life. Yowza…

Hey, I think I may have finally resolved my computer woes! Several days in a row, and no crashes, or error messages.

Mighty Microsoft! All Hail Gates!!

Chow for now!
