- Oooh, @thekerplunks released a new CD last weekend ("Number 3") Will definitely buy it sight-unseen as soon as it hits CD Baby! #
- Thunder! Nah-nah-nah-na-na-nah-nah! (So unusual for YVR) #
- Actually, @thekerplunks lastest CD *is* on CD Baby already: http://bit.ly/cNQFK9 #
- The most irritating counter to increased bike infrastructure in Vancouver: "Cyclists don't pay their share". WRONG. http://bit.ly/95SVhm #
- 2 weeks off the bike + University Hill = Suckage. Less suckage today than yesterday, but that's probably due to lack of headwind. #

- I've become so jaded. Unless I recognize the #, or there's caller ID, I don't answer my cell or home phone. If it's important, leave a msg. #
- Or, if it's *really* important, call me back. If the same # calls twice, I'll answer it. #IHatePhoneSpam #
- There's more than a little solidarity in ignoring unknown phone calls it seems. Next step will be to ditch the home phone completely. #
- Hey YVR-ish dads: We need a Tweet-up! How about the Confederation Park trains on July 10th? #
- I may have told Aidan that it was 7:30 (bedtime) … at 7pm. I think he's asleep now (7:15) #LitteWhiteLie #
- Read this press release headline: http://bit.ly/a4fScx Really? Uh, really!? (via @gpstracklog ) #
- Oh look, a bot network is attacking us. Industrial espionage attempts or just script kiddies? #CantWeAllGetAlong #
- RT @mtnbikinggirl: Women cyclists ‘risk death’ by obeying traffic lights http://bit.ly/bV1FpW [Uh …. not sure how to respond to this] #
- As much as I am sympathetic to bicycle advocacy in Vancouver, this proposed bike share program seems like a colossal waste of money #
- And? People are stealing metal from electrical + building sites. I wonder about the theft estimates for bike-share bikes. #
- Insightful post from @squirtsdad: Being a step-dad is a lot different (and harder) than being a normal dad. http://ht.ly/203kS #

- VPD is out ticketing cyclists. Too bad didn't nab 2 cars running red lights or 1 that completely blew a 4 way w/o looking on my ride this am #
- I get that bikes need to obey the rules too, but hello? We're not 2000 kg of death and mayhem. #
- RT @LeftCoastMama: Off to get to Aidan's last preschool pickup ever. :( They grow up so fast. [Or not :p ] #
- British mailing addresses confound me. Foo House, 123 Some Street, Quaint Town Name, Big City Name, Postal Code. Seems over defined somehow. #
- RT @harrietglynn: We went to the new mtpleasant com centre to inquire about daycare. They had a 400 person wait list! How is that possible?! #
- And before anyone thinks I'm all holier-than-thou, there are a number of stop signs I blow daily. Only if I'm the only one at the intersxn. #
- The difference is that I ride _very_ defensively and always check for traffic, even when I have right-of-way. Many don't, ever. #
- Dear new followers: Yes, I know I only had 1000 tweets a few days ago and have north of 15,000 now. Surprise! Sorry for the flood. #
- Second call for a YVR-Dads #Tweetup I propose 10 July, Confederation Park trains in Burnaby. Any takers? #

- Dear child: You are *not* a rooster. No need to crow at the dawn. Every. Single. Day. #

- The whole LeftCoastFloyds clan was shot today by @thejerk and @mirandal. Didn't hurt a bit. Thanks guys! #
- Thanks @pawspix for the Dad's Day shout-out! #
- Still looking in Vancouver for a burgundy car w/ a fruit tree where engine should be. It's somewhere around the car-free events! Seen it? #
- Had to wake both kids from late-afternoon nap for supper. Emotional disaster x2. Never seems worth it. #
- Pushed the big red button. Sometimes personal interactions in #geocaching go waaaay overboard. #
- It's almost 10 pm. Q has been fighting sleep for almost 3 hrs now. Happy Father's Day. #
- Hmrph. Turns out both boys are still awake. No more late afternoon naps, no matter how much they need them. Also, never wake a sleeping kid #
- And now, blissful Napoleons from Granville Island. #ToDieFor #
- Vancouver cyclists set to document traffic infractions on bike routes by motorists as "counter-bike-crackdown" http://bit.ly/c4o0Sa #
