\n– who has nice kids
\n– and a dog
\n– who now pretty much lives with me (the dog. actually, the girl too)
\n– and likes to chase frisbees (just the dog)
\n– so I go to the park again
\n– I’ve been to the left coast ten times
\n– I’ve been to Toronto six times
\n– I missed going to NYC at Xmas for the first time in a decade
\n– I completed my 365<\/a>
\n– I filed my first patch (very, very minor)
\n– I turned 41
\n– and I feel significantly younger
\n– so I’ve started running again
\n– and have dropped 15 lbs
\n– and it’ll keep on dropping
\n– I celebrated Canada Day with Walt and Lee and company
\n– who also brought a dog
\n– I also bought a house
\n– I move in less than two weeks
\n– to a place that is not Ottawa
\n– but is as close (time-wise) to YOW as I am now
\n– and is closer to a lot of other things, like my brother (now that he’s returned from Kirkland Lake)
\n– it’s been crazy
\n– I get overwhelmed every so often
\n– but it’s great,<\/p>\n
