From Nanaimo SkyTrain Station.

Watching K-OS now, easily best of the day so far. Glad to get something fun since I have a fair amt of bleh and meh to wait through till The Roots. Tomorrow is a fuller day for me.

So the Main Distractor and I went Back East to North Carolina for just over a week, to visit his family. We stayed at the lake, and went swimming, and went boating, and played a LOT of Euchre (and Pepper).

It was hot, and humid, and so fun. We watched the longest fireworks display I’ve ever seen! from the boat. I played bingo at the VFD hall (didn’t win). Met some old friends again, and some new friends.

Getting there was a nightmare of red-eye and layover…getting back was a marathon, too. I can recommend always having a Mini Moon Pie in your bag to share with an airline employee who might be doing you a favour.

I’ve been instructed that I can adopt the MD’s granny as my own

The Main Distractor linked me to these, and I had to share. Too kewt!

For number one overused word of the second half of the first decade of the second millennium:

fundamental

Damn you, John McCain, for using this word and being quoted saying it over and over and over and over.

Oh and a dishonourable mention for the (soon-to-be-former, thank you, universe) Governor from Alaska: progress was never intended to be verbed the way you verb it, you ignorant unelite.

(don’t tell anyone)
