- Send happy thoughts @LeftCoastMama's way today. We had 3-4 hrs sleep last night (non-contiguous) on the losing end of battle of wills w/ Q. #
- Related: Sure was a wobbly ride in. This afternoon? Gonna suck, big time. Must solve chocolate deficit early before I crash hard. #

- RT @Alyssa_Milano: Wow. @BillGates is now verified on Twitter! (via @caroline) #
- I'm SHOCKED. Local family law guy was just looking for a follow-back. 24 hr follows are despicable. #
- Ride home from UBC was interesting. Where did the wind and rain come from? Cross-wind/head-wind made wobbly ride wobblier. *yawn* #
- .@CanadianKelli @hollyburn At the moment, there are 9 signed up for GC101 ( http://bit.ly/5Uv2fW ), 6 more soft commits. #

- Why are the feds throwing $10M at an "NHL-sized" arena in Truro NS (pop. 23k)? OH! #CPC just won a by-election there #porkbarrel #cdnpoli #
- The Harper Cons continue to control the message. Even @M_Ignatieff refers to our government as "the Harper government". #cdnpoli #
- Very unimpressed with @M_ignatieff's response to prorogation questions: No new PM limits needed. I wouldn't do that, trust me. #cdnpoli #
- The arrogance and perceived honesty-deficit of Canada's politicians is what is driving the disenchantment of the electorate. #cdnpoli #

- Back from GC101. Thanks to @LeftCoastMama and @hollyburn for help! Hope @_EricLowe @Stv @karlwoll @MBels + kids + others had a good time! #
- Games night. Got beat horribly at everything else, but staged a stunning (to me) come-out-of-nowhere win at Thurn and Taxis! #
- Welcome @policemuseum to the YVR geocaching community! First few caches published near the DTES. Good job @cogno! #WhereDidILeaveMyKeys #
- Going on a transit adventure. Olympic Line streetcar to Canada Line train to Richmond. And back, hopefully sane. #
- Successfully use 3 different forms of transit to get to Richmond. W00t? #
- Getting a kick that I've got a kibiTweep of followers (1024). Seems better than a metric kiloTweep. #
