A lot of changes since then.

I moved. Across the street. Moving is one of those really annoying things I hate doing. It takes a lot to make me want to move. The whole prospect of having to pack everything up, take everything apart, and move it around is not enjoyable. Moving across the street is no easier than moving across the city.

The new place is about 840 square feet, approximately 320 bigger than the old place.

I went to Switzerland in November for 3 weeks. There's a lot of pictures I haven't had time to put up, so that will have to wait. This was more of a visit and meet the family sort of thing, but we managed to fit in some days around Zurich, Berne, Basel and of course Langnau.

I really need to get caught up. I actually just wanted to express my opinions about the Olympics but I figured I should finish/start with the updating first. ]]> It's need a very long time since I posted. A lot of changes since then.

A day of travel each way and 2 days of meetings. I will miss one day of curling, 1 day of dragonboat, and 2 days of outrigger. I might be back early enough on Thursday to go paddling... we'll see.

Since I'm a responsible pet owner, I've moved my worms into my apartment until the temperature reaches 5 degree lows once again.
 
When I was lugging the box inside, I was amazed at how heavy it was. Even though I don't always have a lot to feed them, 7 months of banana peels do add up. At this rate, I'll have to start thinking what I'm going to do with the compost soon.

After years of paddling, I have registered myself for swimming lessons at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre.
 
Adult 1: Basic introduction to the water. Introduction to front and back floats and basic propulsion.

Adult 2: Introduction to front and back glides with basic propulsion. Introduction to front crawl, 1-2-3 breathe. Introduction to deep water activities.
 
I figured since I already know the basics of the front crawl, I would just skip the Adult 1 and go straight into Adult 2. The very notion of deep water activities is scaring me a bit though. Visions of me slowly sinking keep running through my mind. Let me revise that. It's not scaring me a bit, it's scaring the bejeebies out of me. I no longer have any bejeebies left to scare out. It's not good.

I hope you sell my lights for enough to purchase some tainted drugs that leaves you bent backwards in pain for the last miserable minutes of your life.
You managed to take off the front light which was detachable (I suppose its my fault for tempting you with such an easy target), but you also stole the cover from my backlight along with the batteries. Either way, you rendered them completely useless to myself and you. Well, I suppose you have 2 half dead AA batteries from the backlight. I throughly enjoyed biking home in the dark with no lights.
I hope by now you're still in the last 30 seconds or so of pain. Have a wonderful night, and burn in hell you boil on the ass of mankind. There aren't any excuses for you or your life.
