We have been busy since Kat has been home. It’s a combination of holiday festivities and people wanting to see Kat while she’s back. To give you an idea, these have been the engagements for seven of the last nine days:
- CMPT Xmas party
- Moderne Burger with Kelly and Paul
- wine tasting with some CMPT people
- Eunice’s defence dinner
- sushi and too much wine with Anne
- Thai with Pam and they boy (after buffet lunch at the DAC with the CMPT staff)
- Italian with the CSSS exec and hangers-on
I think I might be missing a dinner with Oli and Tina in there too. Tomorrow is Kat’s Ama’s birthday, so there’s another big dinner for that. Then Festivus (no celebration planned), Xmas eve (at Kat’s family), and Xmas day (at Kelly and Paul’s). Maybe there will be a break in the Xmas-New Year’s gap, but I suspect stuff will come up.
Last night during the exec dinner, something tweaked in my brain. I finally realized what it was this morning: I’m tired of food.
It’s not that I feel like I have been overeating (although I probably have), or that I’m feeling especially fat (but I wouldn’t mind losing a few). I just really can’t get excited about eating anything. Maybe it’s just my brain warning me that I’m headed down the road to becoming a bloated man-ball.
Anyway, can’t write more now. I have to get some work done before another buffet lunch at the DAC with Kat’s lab.

Hey Guys!
Wow. I remember when the DAC was still the DUC… The flashy website makes it look a lot more posh than I remember it.
Anyway, I just wanted to wish you two a Happy Holidays. Are you guys planning on coming out to the Ottawa region in the new year? Let us know if you do…
BTW – I was interviewed on CBC about the whole “police using youtube.com to catch criminals” thing. A 10 minute interviewed spliced into a 6 second soundbite, but alas… It’s currently looping on The National on CBC Newsworld.
Cheers,
Mike

I’m a hanger-on? That sounds kinda depressing…

It’s alright Eug. I’m pretty sure more than half the people there were hangers-on 😉

Ooooh I’m with Mike. Do Ottawa. Come visit!
I’m coming back to Van in August though I think.

So Festivus is on the 23rd then? Good to know.
Wait, that’s today. Um, yay Festivus!
