Spending the 4th at the Lake
I have 15 minutes. I will write. You have 2 minutes. You will read. Later, you will say, “I heard you ate a peach last week.” The cycle of blogging will have revolved once more.
Susie’s taking a bath and shaving her legs. It’s going to be a good evening.
Today, the weather is hot. Not warm, not pleasant, not lovely: HOT. It is a good day.
And so, of course, on such a hot day, we went to the Apple Store. And looked at possible covers for her new iPad (but did not find a good one). That was an anniversary gift I gave her, the iPad was. Technically, I was a little late with it, but hey, most people only know pi to 3 decimals and I was well within that standard deviation.
She likes her iPad. I’m sticking with a laptop. And I’m sticking with her.

I’ve been listening to a lot of new music lately. For some reason, lots of people have been giving me new music: my friends Laura, Stefan, Mandy, and Tuzy and Calvin, . And I’ve been liking it. Here’s a short list:
The Gambler by Fun.
This Town by Drivin ‘N’ Cryin
Bulletproof by La Roux

I made a new batch of beer. It’s a lager. I think. I can’t remember. My memory isn’t what it used to be, and I"m getting lefts and rights mixed up a lot these days which isn’t such a problem except when I’m yelling at my teammates on the ultimate field. “Go Left,” I shout, and they do. Uh oh.
I took some of my beer to the Northern Voice committee wrap up meeting, and it was a lovely occasion. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—Vancouver’s tech community is the nicest, friendliest, most supportive tech community in the world. And it’s a pleasure to contribute to that, which is why I’ll be doing Northern Voice?again next year, all other ducks being lined up.
I’m heading to my sister’s graduation in Calgary here soon. She’s got her English degree, and I’m damn proud of her.
And now, I’m wondering why I’m not outside. Bye!
