Canada Day from afar, again

Happy Canada Day, y’all. This is the second year I’ve been gone and, since its not a holiday here, spent the day working. I have to say, I miss it, not because the things we did were ever particularly epic — in fact, we rarely succeeded at having plans at all — but because we usually made the effort.

Yep, it’s just your average, hazy summer day here in the Bay Area. I’m hard at work with Nathan on a re-vamp of some of our internal systems, which is a really nifty, interesting project, but prone to melting my brain after extended periods.

I’m going to see Away We Go tonight with Andrew, Casey, Lynn, and Nathan. It looks somewhat interesting, but I’m reserving judgement until I actually see it. I’ve been trying to wean myself off of movie trailers and the like so that I’m more often surprised by movies. What’s the fun of going to see a movie if you know exactly what’s going to happen?

Fireworks have sucked since then. Obviously Mark needs to come back for Canada Day next year.

Mark

Ah, yes. I am, of course, the thing that the universe revolves around. :)

Happy Canada Day Mark and everyone!

I worked today aswell but I made double time and a half for doing it so I could not say no!

And yes Mark I saw the fireworks from the roof top patio at RIM’s office in Bedford… they did suck this year.

I dono Mark….I think they might suck b/c I moved, not b/c you are gone.
