This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Well then.

Hi again! There is snow on the ground in Vancouver, and I'm going to need an address from JohnSweden to send this too, because that just ain't right!

But Allyson, sometimes don't you want to shove the genie back into the box? For example, isn't there ever a person that you feel like telling, "Please! Go back to lurking!"

The Yakuza Women who run my school are, I'm told by the librarian, worried about me dyeing my hair and taking cold medicine. bahahahaha. They also get made when I lift things. They would be appalled at the amount of work I've been doing at home in terms of lifting, schlepping etc.

It's a pretty unfair holiday. I'm already unlurked everywhere. I guess I have to sign up to a new board just to delurk, but if you sign up on a board just to make a post to delurk, then there really isn't any lurking involved.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do they have really cool tattoos?

I'm worried too, what if you have a tragic hair dyeing accident while hopped up on cold medicine.

Tom, I wish. And yet no. It's just that my current school is run by a coterie of Japanese women, though this is lessening to a degree and after this year, when our principal leaves, will be even less so. My friend calls them the Asian mafia, but Yakuza seems more appropriate to me.

And, FTR, I love them. My previous school was run by a coterie of mostly angry African American women. I wonder if most public schools are run by women?

Other than cold, how's Vancouver?

Abby!

We've had hardly any snow in Halifax. You must have our snow. Keep it. Think of it as a gift from me to you.

My grandfather was Canadian. Does that get me anything? I doubt it.

No, but if your grandfather and grandmother were Finnish, you could become a Finnish citizen. This, because of the Finns who spent a whole generation stuck in former Finnish territories occupied by the Soviet Union.

Plei!

Vancouver's good. I moved in November out of the West End (but not too far) with my sister-in-law/BFF. We have two cats and dog in a smallish 3-bedroom basement suite, which is chaotic, but I love it rather a lot.

I'm about done with all the rain/wind/snow though. Did you guys hear about the roof on BC Place?
