If I have to learn more than 2 new computer applications a week, I glaze over. Reconnecting my new printer (as well as deciding which new one to buy and buying it), dealing with a new digital hookup with Telus (took 2 days!) was enough for the last 7 days. And Wordpress the week before to do the Community Mapping site. How did I end up doing so much high tech? Default, I think.

At 9:36pm on January 18, 2010, Randy Chatterjee said…: That's a great photo, a Jane Fonda activist on the war path! I am truly inspired by your watery vision for Vancouver. I grew up playing in every stream I saw, albeit usually building dams. Water is the stuff of life, and Engineering wants every drop in some stinky sewer headed straight, without any biological filter, into the ocean. Truly insane. They must be stopped.

Join the Main Street neighbourhood Group as well, as this will ease Anna's work to announce the next potluck, and other ad hoc local events. Great to see you again. We travel in similar schools.
