In our never-ending and largely futile effort to keep our home life and work life separate, Susie and I now have a new home phone number.
It’s (778) 330-7488. Will you be the first person ever to dial it?
I wish it spelled something cool, but it doesn’t. It is, however, oddly memorable, especially if you drop the 778 area code. Try saying it twice, and you’ll see.
778 is apparently all that Vancouver has left, even for home lines these days. Alas.
We may no longer answer the work line in the evening after we’re done working (i.e. after never) so do try to use the home number all the time now.
“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”
“kindergarchy n. Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.”
“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “
Nothing with a "0" in it can spell a whole word -- unless you can use the "0" for an "O" and that gets confusing... But yeah, there are a few shorter words within the number.
Go to the Malta Beach, dude!

You can scroll right easily by holding down the SHIFT key and using your scroll wheel. (Firefox users trying this will end up jumping to old Web pages until a) Firefox releases a fix, b) they change their settings like so.)
