Just narrowly avoided being stuck on a bus for God knows how long. I was taking the bus out into the city to go to Awana (teaching Bible stuff to kids, basically), but then just missed my connecting bus that actually would take me into Vancouver. I was a bit annoyed, so went into the local office supply store to buy some stuff, then caught the next bus in. Later, I was wondering why the bus was going so slowly… no, I’m not that impatient, but it certainly seemed slower than normal. Then I noted people on the bus staring out the windows… there was a big accident involving four buses (including the one I would have been on) and three cars. Thank goodness I wasn’t on that bus! (and it’s actually been a nice sunny warm-ish day today, too… which makes the accident even more weird, since it ain’t rainy like it’s been all week) F\_X ---

Wow! Yesterday was chock full of live music. I went to The Festival of the Arts in downtown OKC yesterday and saw about four different bands (we’ve got some real good local talent). Then, we went to see Tim McGraw and the Dance Hall Doctors. Over three hours of good original country and classic rock covers. And… I was with four beautiful women, none of them related to me. Plus, it was a Perfect Spring Day™. Fun. ---

I had a turkey salad wrap for lunch. It wasn’t very good, and I wasn’t especially hungry, but I needed to break a 10, and buying lunch seemed a reasonable way of doing it. ---

Nah… Canada (or at least Nova Scotia) has a bad reputation for hunting baby seals and clubbing them on the head. (or that’s what I heard some time ago… dunno if it’s still true) I’d just like to say that my back hurts, Any ideas how to get relief? (taking aspirin right before I go to bed soon) F\_X ---
