at least i wasn’t the only one under the impression that ‘house of commons’ meant ‘great britain’. turns out i’ll be spending some time in ottawa instead of london. it is better to find out where i’m going before i get there.

took my longest vacation since starting work here in minnesota. 2 weeks of playing clarinet, transplanting christmas cacti, shovelling the driveway, seeing friends, renting movies, scratching kyleigh’s stomach, eating sauerbraten, framing prints, fixing computers and chauffeuring my family.

ottawa is a nice place, especially when you don’t forget the following:
contact lens solution, contact lens case, deodorant, shaving cream, your camera’s flash card and your wifi card. looks like we’re dealing with a personal hygene/superfluous technology issue here.

in other news, reading the economist is one of my favorite things to do on an airplane. more interesting than sleeping, more gratifying than skymall and easier to fold over than your average airline-affiliated publication.
