A NIGHT AT THE SPA....
Before I got 'sort of' married my cow-orkers (whome I actually quite like) gave liz and I a wedding gift of the romance 'chocolate and port' package at le nordik spa http://www.lenordik.com/flash_en/flash.html about 15 minutes from my house in lovely old chelsea Quebec (sorry Falco we should have taken you here - next time).
What a lovely experience. From the hot tub, to the hour long massage, to the Nordic Spa Circuit as I called it. Essentially you go the steam room or the sauna to 'open your pores'. Then you go to the cold water bath to close the pores shut tight. Then you move down to the luke warm/slightly cool pool and then to the hot pool - repeat.
The best part of this was that the atmosphere. Three pools of water (lighted blue) in a rock grotto with snow covered trees and rocks. The hot pool had steam pouring off of it into the night air. So very very relaxing. I'll definatley be back. Oh and the chocolate fondue and port were phantasmic!
On other matters: I'm pleased as can be the Sheila Fraser is taking heat over firing her environment commissioner. I'm still nto srue why we need an environment commissioner but I have enormous issues with the AG's office and how she conducts her work. Many of the accusations she leveled at the env't comm (too much advocacy, too much policy, not enough basic report) are concerns I have with the whole office from Fraser on down. Too political too advocative and probably not necessary. Parliament should have an internal oversight board which releases public data, and where thigns get out of hand we has the RCMP to deal with criminial matters.
Oh and since everyone knows how much I love the Conservative government (like a root canal without anesthetic) I have to fully support their decision to purchase new military transport aircraft both strategic and tactical. Renting support is stupid and reduces Canada's capacity to act and fully support its allies. The liberals and NDP on this one are just plain wrong.
Cheers,
