After several e-mails asking 'So did Chris get the transfer to Ottawa or not and if so when are you moving?' I realized I'd better clarify. Our plan is to take possession of the crazy old man's house November 20. (aside - I just re-read that and got an image of a SWAT team descending on a suburban house at dawn and evicting a screaming little withered man in a housecoat, and his seventeen cats, into the snowy streets).

Chris will start work for Ottawa Psych December 1rst. Assuming all goes well.

Recently heard at our house:

"Canyons are really cool because they're like giant geological diaries!" (quote from the CD-ROM game Magic Schoolbus Inside the Earth)

"Canyons are really cool because they're like giant diarrheas!" Daniel repeats the quote.
