But don't you understand, alison? The problem wasn't the gunman's access to guns. The problem was that there weren't enough guns on the campus.

What's ICC? And how come you're going to Hinton and a girl I know is coming to Ottawa's eye institute for 2 weeks in August? Congrats Par! Going away to study for a bit is fantastic!

Paras going away party? Or is it a little too early?

"The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed,"

oh W. what are you going to come up with next?


i'm so glad you don't see your country's weapons policy as at all relating to school shootings.

or am i just bitter? damn, my cousin's in CT, and he said there are guns everywhere... and people firing them like they're cowboys in the wild west... and assaults all the time... and accidental firings... and not-so-accidental firings...

Hinton's nice... if smelly... you should do alright.

hey, and congrats!

Hi, thanks for your application to the ICC beginning this fall. I realize it has been an at times agonizingly slow process. Thanks for persisting with it and your thoughtful application.

All eight students have been accepted into the ICC for next fall. I hope you
got the word through Glenn.

We are still sorting out locations and pairings but you should know that
pending someone changing their mind, you should each get your first or
second choice of location with the person you seemed to sort yourself with
around the interview time.

A stop sign?

Yep Jsese it does suck very mightly, but that is just life. As long as you and your car are okay.

Minor car accidents suck!! I know it could be major, and all this is really hurting is my pocketbook and my ego!! yeah, you guessed it, I drove into a stop sign in a parking lot. And then some kids tried to steal my bumper. crazy kids!!! oh well, I guess it is time to bring out the bike. don't you just hae it when life happens.

Thanks for the linkage!

Yeah, I had to put off this weekend as it turned out my Saturday was a lot busier than I was expecting, not to mention being hit with a cold yet again. But NEXT SATURDAY FOR SURE, it's gonna happen. So folks, keep that day open for another Whyte Avenue music cruise!

When: April 21, around 1pm
Where: I think we'll start at Blackbyrd, as before

(I'll be sure to post a reminder shortly before the day as well.)
