Canada's Biggest Fan

See it here at Chapters. It’s written by James R. Davis, an ex-Canadian-soldier turned security consultant.
I’m considering writing to him for advice on my trip… you know, planning my route, necessary provisions, maybe some fighting and surveillance skills. I figure if he can do what he’s done all over the world my motor trip will be child’s play for him.
‘No Coins, Please‘ by (Canadian) Gordon Korman. This was a favorite book as a kid. january 17 2009
Now here’s something: it was retardly hard to find. It took years of serious used-book store and flea-market vigilance; I actually got a bit obsessive about it. It was like the book had just vanished.
So when I searched for it at Chapters.ca, to link it up above, I was surprised to see they had an abundance of copies. So now I’m wondering if it’s been re-edited and would like to read the new version and test that theory.
I’m at the Tina Turner concert. See that chair? That’s me, 9 hours. I wasn’t guarding so much as I was a “presence” (industry term, I did not make that up).december 12 2008
So I had a lot of time to daydream. I also read an entire book, “Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz“, and if you are interested at all in marketing and online hustling, it’s terrific.
Oh, and you know how I said David emailed me tonight? On my walk home it struck me it was an auto-responder I was talking to, not a human. Wow, Keri.
Come on, even the title is killer: How to be a Fake Kreskin.
I’m secretly hoping that by me blogging about him he’ll somehow feel a pull and… be my friend. november 29 2008
… I’ve been working at ‘The Royal Winter Agricultural Fair‘ or, ‘The Royal’, at Exhibition Place. This is its 86th year, 350 000 people visit over 2 weeks, and it’s the largest indoor agricultural fair and international equestrian competition in the world.
Sunday I was a “roamer”, meaning I walked around keeping an eye out. I passed a little kid at one point, who looked up at me and breathed out in awe, “ohhh, security”. Yesssss. Here are some things I saw:november 18 2008

Then Monday and Tuesday I was guarding a set of doors while the exhibitors dismantled and shipped off. Pretty quiet post so I was able to finish my latest book, “PSI Spies“. I already believed before I read it, now, even more so. And there’s a “central premonition registry” out there? I’m joining.
