Congrats! I've been reading a bit about the real estate slouch in the US. We're
anxiously waiting for a correction here.

Every once in a while the government surprises me. Like telling me that I've
paid too much tax, and giving it back.

The process fascinates me, even though the results can be quite disruptive.

Yeah. It's pretty much flatlined. It has been usurped in the niche it filled by
blogs, which is fine. I just need to get out and read everyone's. 

And me.. Well.. I quit my job at PMC, because I was going nowhere in a company
that was going nowhere. 

Then we went to Italy for 3 weeks. That was good fun. 

Then I went and did something really evil to my ankle on Sunday hiking up Mount
Seymour (ironically, right at the top). I can almost walk again. 

Besides that, I've just been looking around for a job that doesn't suck.
