Fish, Rugby Shorts and all things "Husky"

It has been confirmed (well, sort of - in a more or less manner, just waiting for the official paperwork) that I have been accepted to the MBA program at the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary's University!
SMU is located in the fish city of Halifax and the school is throwing $5000 of entrance money at me as a lure. However, SMU has many other attractions: historic buildings, a small and collaborative MBA program that spends the first two weeks on a "team-building retreat" at the beach, the Halifax culture - fast emerging as a hotspot for both music and film, the Huskies football team that is one of the best in the Canadian university league, a rugby club which means rugby players on campus, and a sea full of fishermen to catch. Excited? Me? Just a tad maybe.

Other things that rocked this week?
Secure Sovereignty: "Canada WILL NOT take part in the proposed missile defense system"
Mocha & Coffee Romance: Neela & Gallant "SQUEE-age" on ER sweeps
Losing a Lemke: the marriage of my step-sister in true J.Lo fashion of 48hr notice ... cheers to Mrs. Trisha Braun!!
