So I spent the past week at a conference with my team. It was a great time, however it was incredibly tiring. See, we didn’t just do the conference work, which was busy and challenging all on it’s own. Actually, it was all day and night, since we had a casino near by.
Each night of the conference we all went to the casino and played roulette and blackjack until midnight at least. Did you know they have “War” as a casino game? Seriously all you have to do is bet on you winning the highest card versus the dealer. It’s an even dollar payout, so I have no idea why you would play this.
Back to the gaming. We would arrive at the casino by 8 or 9 and stay there playing roulette until after midnight. After we won/lost a bunch of money at the tables we would go to the local all night restaurant and eat poutine, pies and milkshakes. Every night. I gained 4 pounds in one week.
We had a routine of leaving the hotel at 8am, driving to the conference thirty minutes away, spending all day at the conference, getting some dinner and then going to the casino until 1am.
But we bonded.

I’m going to try an experiment. I’m going to see if I can update my blogs (www.leene.ws and www.lee.elliottfamily.ca) on a weekly or more frequent basis.
I like to write. My wife was published in the Globe and Mail and it inspired me. Not because she was getting all kinds of recognition, compliments and notoriety, but because she was doing something that she enjoyed. To try and challenge myself I submitted two articles to the Globe, neither one was good enough to publish.  However it is a start, and I intend to try and write more, to become better at this craft and hopefully get as good as my wife was in May (she’s even better now!).
So expect more in the coming days, weeks and month(s). I’m going to try.
