• Q and I taken out by some sort of GI bug. No work, hospitals for us today. :( #
  • They're letting #sickboy try oral antibiotics this afternoon. This is a huge step in the right direction. Yay! #
  • How nice of Q to go down and stay down for a nap while I pulled myself to the table for an important telecon. #
  • And just like that, they're sending #sickboy home. Amazing what a difference a few days makes. Huzzah! #
  • Frankly, I'm surprised that they've released him, but he's recovered lots of motion & lost a lot of pain. He'll be on oral abx for a while. #
  • Happy. Might even try some solid food for the first time in a day and a half. #
  • #sickboy is now home & parked in front of Sim City on laptop. Apparently he was suffering withdrawal. I think he's earned some screen time. #
  • Thanks to EVERYONE who has sent along notes of encouragement, visited, and supported us over the past 2 weeks. Super appreciated! #sickboy #
  • That in-between time when you don't know if you're hungry or nauseated. Yeah, that. #
  • Norwalk virus. There's rumoured to be a Norwalk outbreak at the hospital, which fits what Q and I have had these past 2 days. #sickboys #
  • I just hope Aidan doesn't get it. We've been super-vigilant about hand-washing, but we were like that in the hospital too. #
  • Despite being happy to see my face, work is paranoid about the Norwalk exposure and I'm being sent home. Guilt-free day off? Doubtful. #
  • Bizarre. The @vancouver365 account tweets indiscriminately about Vancouver BC … and Vancouver, WA. #botsgonewild #
  • RT @CBCStephenQuinn: Man, another cyclist hit – – this time at 16th and Discovery. #bikeyvr #
  • Interesting discussion right now On The Coast about cycling helmets. Tackles both sides of the issue. Related: http://t.co/MjAzHV7i #
  • Read a few chapters of Encyclopedia Brown to the boys tonight. Talk about generation gap. What's an encyclopedia? #
  • Ugh. This stomach virus only hits Quinlan at night. Thank goodness for in-suite laundry. #yetanotherbeddingchange #norwalkaway #
  • Just how sick does one family need to get before their home is condemned? I'm, uh, asking for a friend. #
  • Oooh, a math-teaching controversy! "Parents Against Teaching Math Concepts Instead of Rote" Huh? #mathishard #yyj #
  • "CathyH"? *Another* Groundspeak #geocaching reviewer? I miss mtn-man #yvr #mywholebodyisbuzzing #
  • Vibrating text alerts are fine … until you get 20 within 1 minute. #geocaching #newpowertrail #
  • Ugly hack is ugly. And, several years later: incomprehensible. :headdesk: #
  • Effective use of transcripts when applying for job: Miserable grades in 2006, time off, awesome grades in 2011. Yes, we will interview you! #
  • Tuning into #OTC for the first time in a while. What happened to Tim The Traffic guy? #TrafficReporterDuJour #cbccuts #
  • What? Video Hits was cancelled? #
  • Irony: George Zimmerman is worried about getting a fair trial. I wonder if Trayvon Martin had the same worry? #
  • George Zimmerman "is worried about getting a fair trial". Do you think he was as worried about Trayvon Martin getting a fair trial? #
  • So that's what keeps happening to the traffic reporters! Don't drink Rick's coffee. #otc #trafficreporterroulette #
  • Which is more dysfunctional in terms of funding? The public school system, or Translink? #bcpoli #yvr #
  • I wonder how long Q will stand in his doorway yelling "I can't sleep!"? Could be a while. #
  • First ride to work after 3-week hiatus due to #sickboys Didn't suck nearly as much as I thought it might! #bikeyvr #BarWasSetLow #
  • Apparently the interesting but foul-mouthed architect isn't on a time-delay :) @CBCStephenQuinn @Lazin_Ryder #otc #
  • .@findchico Failed? Or … SHOT DOWN!? #StarWars #BMDS #NorthKorea #Rocket #boom #
  • Same shitty climate as Copenhagen! #drink #otcdrinkinggames #
  • Tired, but happy. And mostly healthy. http://t.co/Ya756nrb #
  • 7:30 telecon with lots of chefs, but not the culinary kind. Are we having fun yet? #
  • This will make you popular on the bike routes: http://t.co/jQb9sHpy (via @gizmodo, thanks @soundy, @findchico ) #bikeyvr #trainhorn #
  • You know that if it makes the public happy, it doesn't make the media companies happy: http://t.co/mRB4an7u #cbcmusic #protectionism #
  • .@Ng_Dave points out just how insignificant we actually are: http://t.co/9KAbcAHB #astroporn #
  • The traffic-reporter roulette continues as the current one gets replaced by Google Traffic. Good job, @IanAMartin #otc #
  • White magnolias make for a pretty ride home http://t.co/Zeo6LdsH #
  • Birthday pie! Thanks @gwenfloyd http://t.co/FPB2WtD6 #
  • The #canucks are trying hard to make @CBCStephenQuinn this playoff's prediction squid. Octopus. Whatever. #
  • Taking Q on a bike ride to a playground. 3 weeks of pent-up energy is exploding out of every fibre of his body. #
  • First playground stop, Science World http://t.co/RfFS8AGn #
  • Playground #2 under the Cambie St bridge @ Cambie Bridge http://t.co/1VzG9nue #

  • Playground #5 @ George Wainborn Park http://t.co/VhQb3EuS #
  • Well, it's sort of like a playground. @ Sunset beach http://t.co/iJKnhH4O #
  • I think this is playground #6 for today. Yes, that's #sickboy climbing the ladder http://t.co/v4o98rsN #
  • Well, at least the frame and front wheel were secured. #bikeyvr http://t.co/biJVCBdE #
  • I feel dirty. Just bought "A Day Out With Thomas" tickets for the family. Once per kid, I guess. #
  • Oh, man, totally capitalizing on parents' childhoods @ Granville Island Kids Market http://t.co/n4hDNomQ #
  • The Sun Run walkers teeming along 6th Ave http://t.co/T2WjOOst #
  • The truth is out there … @ BC Museum of Mining http://t.co/9T6u0ssh #
  • Hard hat crew. http://t.co/2sjuT2nQ #
  • You want to believe @ Britannia Mine Museum http://t.co/MvcUu6Fx #
  • #yvr tweeps: @Bud_T needs a family-friendly casual seafood restaurant rec for downtown. Go! #
