My second excuse is:
Ganked from Britannica.comMy soon to be new old home town, Cowtown. After 10 years in Taiwan it is time to leave to bigger and cleaner places. I have been battling bureaucracy, fear, movers, stupidity, in-laws and inertia but now can't wait to leave. I am hoping to post some whimsical articles about time spent in Taiwan before I leave but I have over 10 bottles of hard liquor so it will be hard to avoid maudlin commentary. That is if I post anything at all, who knows at this point, not me.
It has been 15 years since I last rocked in Alberta and I probably won't be doing too much rocking with a wife and two daughters. I also hear there are jobs in Calgary . A job would be nice so i don't need to become a male gigolo to pay the bills. I am quite certain the market for overweight, balding gigolos is quite small but who really knows, eh? Anyway, Big Ell is back!
