  • Back from the funeral home. Second verse, same as the first. #
  • Happy Birthday @alexishinde! #
  • Laid Nan to rest, visited Mom's still-fresh grave. Now? Beer. #
  • I had my iPhone completely lock up today. Learned a new Vulcan pinch. Heart restarted eventually. #
  • Another travel day. Today's schedule is YHZ->YYZ->YVR. @WestJet take me home. #
  • Waiting for push-back at YHZ. @westjet #wingletwednesday http://campl.us/hRr #
  • Ah Toronto, your scummy lake don't do a damned thing for me; I'd rather live by the sea. (stopover in YYZ) #
  • Back in YVR. A gorgeous clear flight over the mountains today! #

  • Jesus @twitter, how can the system be getting LESS stable? How about putting all that money into, I dunno, infrastructure or something? #
  • Want Dropbox and an extra 250 MB space (for both you and me)? http://bit.ly/dtukOX (for @VickiWoodward but also anyone else!) #
  • Up today at 5am, which given the time zone I was in yesterday isn't too bad. I don't know what the kid's excuse is though. #
  • Catching up on much-neglected geocaching maintenance + I see some brave soul nom'd our Well-Hung series for a night-caching award. Really!? #
  • I mean the Pacific Spirit Park isn't really an "after dark" sort of place. Lots of park residents, some human, some not. #
  • Sometimes it seems like Twitter is an echo chamber, copying someone else's status, word for word, and no one notices. #DieMemeDie #

  • Back from a little soirée that we biked to with the kids. First time using the bike lights this "season"! #
  • Things I never thought of that my kids have done, Part 341: Dip a banana in yogurt to eat the yogurt. Part 342: Dip raisin bread in same. #
  • Finished some needed maintenance on our Well Hung series — including one that I had to call Gwen to figure out where it was :o #

  • RT @News1130radio: UPDATE: The RCMP confirm the 12-year-old boy who was abducted by his father earlier this afternoon is safe + not harmed #
  • Tom Selleck is living proof that Just For Men *does* work on eyebrows and moustaches #emmys10 #
  • Ted Danson, on the other hand, looks *awesome*. And fierce. #Emmys10 #
  • How does someone who mumbles like Alan Rickman get offered any movie or theatre parts, nevermind the quality? #
  • Tried to catch up on the news tonight, on my terms (iPhone). Only CBC was playable (not Flash) and CTV didn't even have a mobile site! #fail #

  • Fraggle Rock ringtone FTW! http://bit.ly/b1bNbB @SlvrLambStudios @ALotofLoves @bzowy #
  • Dear cyclist: Yes, you're allowed to ride on Broadway. However, you're violating the "Don't be a dick" rule. Bike rtes 1 block N and S! #yvr #
  • Giveaways are awesome and all (I've done good by them) but I'm getting tired of seeing the same RTs to enter contests in my stream #

  • RT @CathyBrowne: If you study/work at #SFU Hastings, look under the seats in rm 1900 for a small black monocular. It helps me see. Thanks. #
