Amazing Christmas!

Well Christmas seemed to pass so quickly this year. It was an amazing Christmas Eve as the whole family got together at the in-laws. There was plenty of traditional Porteguese food from Cod Fish and Potatoes to Octopus in the oven, rice pudding and cakes and my favourite, Shrimp.

It was an amazing time!

Christmas Day was at our place with my dad. I must have been really good this year as i got my two favourite movies of the year (DVDs). X-Men 3 and Superman Returns and a few other gifts as well. Next year Christmas will be shared with a new member of the family. Coming soon!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa Claus is coming to Town!

Yup! He's almost here! Again?

I spotted Santa Claus in Toronto last month. A surprise visit i guess! or he's starting early! So many homes to visit.

Only 5 days to go! :)

Hades Factor - A Covert One Series

Wow! What another amazing book by Robert Ludlum (with Gayle Lynds). I've read less than a 3rd of the book and i can't put it down. Once again this series doesn't disappoint. Non stop action so far and it keeps getting better and better.

Basically a few people die right off the get go ... from a new virus that no one in the world (not even the top minds) can figure out ... No one has seen this kind of virus before and no one can figure out a cure (if one exists)!

I don't want to give too much away, but Lt. Colonol Jon Smith is back. The virus has killed people he knows and people are out to kill him. Does he already know too much? Who's after him? How many more people, around the world, will die from this new virus?

Well you'll have to read the book to find out... :)

Blogs, Blogs, Blogs ...

You know, i've only been a blogger for a week or so, and i'm addicted. I don't have the chance to write as often as i'd like, but i have so many things i want to talk about.

I have a few ideas for blogs of my own, including one for Project Management (i'm a project manager myself), one for my experience as a father to be :) . I'm having a baby! & thought i would write about it. Another blog will have exerpts of the book i've been writing for the last 2 years (will i ever finish it?) We'll see....

I even started a blog for my wife (she's an artist) and we'll be putting up some of her art work on the site for everyone to see.

So many blogs, so little time .... :)

I recently starting reading a new author .....

I recently picked up a book (in October) at the Toronto Airport, on my way to Jamaica. I had forgotten my books at home and decided to walk into one of the Airport shops to find a book. Thank god i forgot my books because i picked up an amazing one. I recently finished reading this book by Robert Ludlum, A Covert One series, called The Lazarus Vendetta.

Summary:

... an attack on a nano-tech facility ...a cloud of deadly nanobots is released ... killing thousands ...
Lt. Colonel Jon Smith, army officer, scientist, member of a top secret intelligence group called 'Covert One' is called in to investigate and expose the truth of what happened. Billions of lives are at stake ... Will Jon Smith find those responsible before more people are killed ....

What an amazing book. I couldn't put it down. It was fast pace and full of action and suspense from the first page to the end. I only wish someone told me about Robert Ludlum's books years ago.

Well i'm now reading 'The Hades Factor'. The other Covert One Novels are on my Christmas List!
