Good morning purple sky!

Walking out the door this morning, this was the view I was greeted with. I was hoping for northern lights, but I'll take a nice sunrise if that is what is being offered.

I'm just watching the news clip from Pat Burns funeral. I have to admit that I think that the Stanley Cup shaped urn if fitting in this case, although in many cases it would be tacky. You have to hav a certain amount of credibility to merit it. Its interesting to hear various peoples' viewpoints of what makes someone a good leader - they don't all highlight the same ingredients - but there seems to be a consensus that he was a good leader and that his caring and integrity (not to mention grit and a loud voice) were all part of the formula. There seems to be a lot of celebrity (of the Canadian variety) funerals this week (2). Leslie Neilson (whom I remeber most fondly as Buck Frobisher) has also passed away. I hope that his ride to the other side doesn't have any "Airplane"-like complications.

I can't believe it is the end of November already. Seriously, I sweat that Halloween was just a little while ago. But into the Christmas season we go.... Before I know it I'll be eating turkey with the people who've always been there for me no matter what and wondering where the time went...
