Guilt Post

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. [Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.]"
-Michael to Harrison and Connie (The Godfather III)

I attended the Toronto Poliblogger bash on friday, and received much good natured um encouragement to post again. Well, it's certainly nice to know that one is missed!

Great place, good company, look forward to doing it again.

Well, as for the absence, mea culpa, no excuses for it. I'll save my excuse making capability for explaining the performance of the Canadian dollar against the greenback as of late. As we've all seen it's rocketed up to the lofty heights of $0.72 USD from a low of $0.61 a year and change ago. I've been on the dollar doomwatch since starting the blog, expecting an eventual slide to less than sixty cents US. In the long term I still think it will happen. I still have absolute faith in the utter incompetence of the Liberal government, which has only been slightly rattled by their not bailing out Air Canada.

Anyway, excuse time. I'll just use a quote to weasel out of this one- "Success is 99% failure"- Sochiro Honda My prediction has failed for now, but my Monkey Honor will be avenged!
