    Repeated here:

    So when exactly did you make the decision to move to Canada? (I looked through the archives, and found your reasons why Canada, and why now, but not when you made up your mind)

    When you started saving up money a couple of years ago, had you already decided where you were going to go?

    Oh, "August 28", yeah... never mind. :)

    Would you like me to go stick my head in a bucket of water? I've got one handy...

    Guess this is one of those few times one can actually say "congratulations on becoming unemployed."

    ;-)

    So, Congrats to you, L-G!!!!

    Yes, congratulations is an odd thing to say to the unemployed. But, congratulations.

    Thanks, everybody!

    I'm technically not unemployed until the end of August, and even then we'll have writing income (though that isn't enough to live on long-term). But it felt so good to take this step!

    Kyle, that's a good question. I'll blog on it tomorrow morning.

    I love this line. It is just too, too funny.

    ALPF, how great! Get this, I am actually registered at that 43things site. I signed up so I could lend encouragement to another American interested in making the move. I will visit them both, and blog on it further...

not so fast

Not everyone thinks the Conservative government is a lock. Canada's opposition Conservative Party, which is set to bring down the minority Liberal government later this week, was hit by a new opinion poll on Monday that showed it was trailing in the country's most vote-rich region. The Leger Marketing poll for the Sun chain of newspapers put support for the Liberals in the powerful central province of Ontario at 43 percent compared with 31 percent for the Conservatives. Ontario, a Liberal stronghold at the federal level for the past 12 years, accounts for 106 of the 308 seats in House of Commons, and no party can hope to form a government without doing well there. . . . Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberals have been badly hurt by a corruption scandal and Conservative leader Stephen Harper says the government must be defeated as soon as possible. The Leger figures, however, suggest there is no guarantee Harper can end 12 years of Liberal rule. Thanks, ALPF! I must say, I...

what i'm watching: maybe coffee was coffee

Someone just emailed this to me. +++++++ George: (While preparing bicarb) She invites me up at twelve o clock at night, for coffee. And I don't go up. "No thank you, I don't want coffee, it keeps me up. Too late for me to drink coffee." I said this to her. People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live. I can't imagine what she must think of me. Jerry: She thinks you're a guy that doesn't like coffee. George: She invited me up. Coffee's not coffee, coffee is sex. Elaine: Maybe coffee was coffee. George: Coffee's coffee in the morning, it's not coffee at twelve o clock at night. Elaine: Well some people drink coffee that late. George: Yeah, people who work at NORAD, who're on twenty-four hour missile watch. Everything was going along so great: she was laughing, I was funny. I kept saying to myself "Keep it up, don't blow it, you're doing great." Elaine: It's all in your head. All she knows is she had a good time. ...
