Imagine my surprise! I sit down to my breakfast and get ready to dig in. There, burnt into my pancakes is a mirror image of myself staring directly up at me! Not Jesus… not the Virgin Mary… just good ol’ Steve.

It was awesome… I could hardly believe what I was seeing.

Oh, and boy am I delicious! Especially with maple syrup.

Hmph! Our 11:30 pm crossing on the Atlantic Vision isn’t expected to sail until 5:00 am. Hurricane Bill had less impact on me a week ago when it pissed all over Moncton. I had to wait a week and travel 500 kms to really see what a sonofabitch he is!

More than 400 posts in just over 4 years… my first post was August 21, 2005. I started out on a public blogging site and eventually purchased my own domain here at www.ohmenerves.com and the rest is history!

The next step of our son’s journey to adulthood is done. He worked his last shift at his part time job yesterday.

He has spent the last two years with what I consider to be a very cool job for a kid his age. Two years ago he walked into Future Shop and dropped of an application. Within a couple of days he was their newest employee and also their youngest. He spent the next two years learning how to be responsible, prepared, and professional. He really had a hard time saying “so long” to his friends and colleagues down there, not to mention the employee discount!

This job helped pay his way through a European trip with his school, gave him spending money, gobs of gas money, Christmas money, helped him save for university, countless electronic gadgets and gizmos, and gave him an experience he’ll always remember.

In two days we hit the road to send him off to university. The adventure begins.

My son will soon be going off to university. He’s pretty good with computers, but I’m usually his source for technical support. I’ve been trying to teach him lately how to debug his own issues. Below is lesson number 1.
