Welcome to msquared! Marcell and I decided to start a joint blog for us to work on together.  It should be an interesting project as we won’t be together for a while having different work commitments for the next few months.  Just one of the joys of international work and travel.

We look forward to sharing our thoughts with our friends and family and hopefully we will be able to keep posting on a regular basis.

Till later

Mother nature must be feeling very sad right now since she wont stop crying.

Thankfully she cheered up a bit last saturday for the Kiss concert.

This was at least the 5th time I’ve seen them and it has always been fun.

It is not just a musical experience or as Paul ( the lead singer ) said, not a moment that was going to change the world, but a night off to be entertained, laugh, yell and be a part of a crowd all feeling the same way. The sellout crowd agreed I think.

The seats were okay but most of the close photos were blurry due to the zoom and no tripod. Of course I wasnt there to take pictures, just to Rock N Roll All Nite. There are a few in the photo album section if you want to check them out.

Just a few weeks away now and I get to see Martin ( fingers crossed )  being apart this long really is sad. Looking forward to seeing the latest sea monster that is ‘The Oasis of the Seas’

Cheers, Marcell

It has been a hectic month, and still going.
A sad departure, lonely days and a celebration.
My birthday was one of them
The best thing was that when I blew out the candles
there were things I knew I didn’t need to wish for.
Good health, a safe warm place to rest my head
great friends, good food
and a life partner to share it all.
There is still halloween,
one of my fave holidays
yes i know, all creepy and goulish
dark and scary
but come on … the fireworks, silly costumes
and THE MONSTER MASH ( its a song )
yes, the one day I can be as young as I can be
I wish all a hearty harvest and a wonderful winter.
All the best to you and yours.
Cheers !!!

msquared at the Canucks Game

Tonight I got to sit rinkside at the Canucks vs Sharks pre-season hockey game. This was my very first live hockey game and it turned out to be a really exciting game.

The first period was completed with a 0-0 score and during the second, the Sharks went on to score 2 goals while the Canucks were still on 0. Most of the time was spent at the Sharks end but not when it counted. Luongo looked miffed to put it mildly.

So the third period was rocking! In the space of three minutes the Canucks scored 3 goals! The energy in the arena was incredible. The Sharks tied the score just before full time and the game went into 5 minutes overtime. Couple of close calls but no goals.
It came down to the shoot out which Canucks one by the skin of Luongo’s pads so to speak.

Needless to say, it was a great game to be at for my first one. Definitely got me hooked.

Have some photos coming soon.

This so completely describes our home:

Wanted to congratulate Pierce on his new home.   We spent yesterday afternoon helping him move in which was pretty good exercise especially when I go on vacation and avoid exercise as if it was a contagious disease.   Needless to say I slept very well last night.

Hope you are very happy in your new home, Pierce!

This is a test post from my iPod.  Wordpress have a free and simple App which lets me post directly from my iPod.  I can even prepare offline and post later.   Very cool.  I am sure I will be using this tool quite a bit in the future.
