I recently spent some time in Sweden and visited two clubs while I was there. What a waste of time! The clubs were blatant rip-off hustle joints so I didn't stay in either club long enough to gather enough info…

One of my goddaughters was married last weekend. The reception was held at a rural facility on a delicious warm summer evening and night in the shadows of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. I was the emcee of the formalities but when…

As an addendum to my recent discussion thread about personality, one of the dancers plying her SS on me that evening called me a 'toff'. First, I was stunned to encounter a dancer with that word in her vocabulary. Second,…

I recently spent a long boring evening entertaining prospective investors in a Calgary SC. I did no private dances. I did not participate in the horrid loonie/toonie toss. I just spent the evening drinking and jollying along the investors I…

Calgary Stampede is in full glory this week and I have been making the rounds of the corporate parties trying to raise money for my nat gas exploration play up north. A couple of hedge fund guys from Connecticut have…

A local brew pub is running a commercial on sports talk radio featuring the word 'snatch' in the punch line of the spot; all juvenile double entendres intended. The expected effect has been achieved; a local holy roller is blustering…

Women just do not figure in the gritty jobs of oil exploration. I have employed several women in professional capacities - geophysicists, mathematicians, computer weenies, secretaries, etc. but never for any of the hard-ass jobs. Touring well sites this week,…
