  • Heh, Twitter is reporting I have 243 tweets. This week maybe. That’s about 7k short. Must be database issues. Again. #
  • The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight! Best viewing times are 9-11 pm (local time). It has cleared up here, we might get to see some! #

  • Meteors? I can count the number of *stars* that are visible with both hands. #BigCityFail #LightPollution #Perseids #
  • BOTH boys now hum while eating. Breakfast time is not very peaceful. Or in tune. #
  • Can you imagine the uproar if something as progressive as this were introduced in Vangroovy? http://is.gd/2e8VJ (via @granvillemag) #bikes #
  • Shooting at 20th/Oak in Vancouver. A little too close for comfort. We were by there 2 hrs ago + just a few blocks from home! #

  • Oh look, it’s 10 pm. So I guess we should pack something for this trip. Radio silence until tomorrow night when we’ll be xmiting from Hfx! #
  • In Halifax after uneventful transcontinental flights. Thanks @westjet for being awesome! #
  • Clock on the computer says 2:30 AM; on the wall: 6:30 AM. The sun is up, so Aidan is up. So I’m up. Jet lag? What jet lag? #
