That's the way he understands it, Steph. So, fingers crossed.

I'm writing more for work, though, which is extra $$, so that's a good thing. I just don't have time to do anything else.

Hey, question for Canada-educated folks -- how do you pay for college there? Say, if you were going to University of Ottowa?

Snapshot of lower Manhattan - the line for cronuts vs the line for new iPhones.

I wouldn't wait in line for an iPhone OR a cronut.

Not sure what you mean, Amy. But in my day we went to the bursars office with a check and stood in line.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

10 more invoices done. my pace is increasing (I also hit a patch of invoices that did not need cross-references).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't want to wait in line for much, but I do still have NYC-remnant inclinations toward getting places earlier than is necessary.

Sorry, I meant, is it subsidized at all for Canadian citizens?

Or if you meant how do you come up with the money, a few things. Generally costs are much cheaper to begin wiht, especially if you are from w/in the province. (Actually, in Ontario you just had to be Canadian. At the time anyway, Quebec was the only that limited to students from in province.

There are various aid programs similar to the states. In Ontario there was OSAP, Ontario Student Aid Program. Better known as Ontario Stereo Acquisition Program. US students can get the same federal loans they would get to go to uni in the States.

A sensible person in that situation would stand in the cronut line while using their current iPhone to order a new iPhone from apple.com.

[A sensible person who was in the area anyway and wanted both a fresh cronut and a new iPhone, that is.]

Thanks, brenda!
