OK my turn, we had the one and only Bryan Adams in our restaurant for lunch this week. turns out that "baby-all-that-he-wanted" was a vegetarian sandwich with no mayo...

You gotta admit that Bush has pretty good reflexes. He just calmly ducked that first shoe.

in case anybody was wondering what igor has been up to lately: https://www.thestar.com/Crime/article/553743.

and i tried to resist but since we're alll doing it, these are a few of the folks i've worked with in the past 7 years: Cindy Crawford(special k commercial), Catherine Zeta Jones(t-mobile commercial a few years ago and a japanese hair commercial this summer), Wayne Gretzky(ford commercial), Antonio Banderas(cologne commercial), Billy Ray Cyrus(music video), William Shatner(All Bran commercial), Michael Madsen(a movie I worked on in april that isn't out yet, shhhh), ok this is getting long and boring and I haven't even started with directors and D.O.P.s but i will mention one more person only because he is the nicest man in the film industry and i get to work with him quite a bit, Dean Cundey.

Funny how much your priorities change in the winter. I get into work dripping wet and covered with grit and salt. Co worker says to me;

"Man, that's some terrible weather to be riding in today"

"No actually it was kind of nice"

"haha, yeah right"

"No seriously, if there's zero possibility of ice, it's good weather to be riding in december"

And as for the shoe thing, you also have to admit the guy throwing had pretty good aim. If George hadn't ducked both shoes would have hit him square in the face. That's a whole lot better than I can throw a shoe

i'd say that you have to be pretty damn angry to throw a shoe like that,and to throw two shoes! that puts your anger in what i like to call "the ridiculous range". can't blame the guy though, i'd probably throw a shoe at bush if i had the chance.

"In Arab culture it's considered rude even to display the sole of one's shoe to a fellow human being.

Certainly, crossing one's legs ankle-on-knee style should never be done in a public place for fear of offending the person next to you.

The sensitivity is related to the fact shoes are considered ritually unclean in the Muslim faith.

In addition to ritual ablutions before prayer, Muslims must take off their shoes to pray, and wearing shoes inside a mosque is forbidden."

Nah dude it's nice. If you've got a water proof jacket it's actually really warm and comfortable out. Save for the headwind if you're going west, it's a good day to be on a bike.
