Interrupting Regularly Scheduled Programming

Hi, it's really me...as opposed to two weeks ago me which is what you have been getting in my sporadic and nutty updates over the past month. What can I say? Things broke down - but I ended up spending more time actually *doing* these ETs and obviously less time writing about them in a timely fashion. Also, last week I worked 45 hours over only three days so I've been sick-ish, exhausted and generally not a great person to be around.

However - I'm happy to say that this is my official last day of ETs [and also means that tomorrow is my birthday!]! Hooray - I made it! And while I will be doing the rest of my updates, unfortunately they will have to wait. In about 30 minutes I'm going to be off to Montreal for my birthday weekend extravaganza [yes, weekend starts on Thursday and ends with Barack Obama being the President!]. Because, you know what they say - there's no Canada like French Canada - it's the best Canada in the land! And I definitely want some of that action for my milestone birthday. Also, I've been told there will be lemurs. So - chances are updates will start on Tuesday, November 4th while pensively waiting for election results - so please come back, stay tuned...or read really old entries for evidence of how much of a split personality disorder I've developed over the year.

And please American readers - go vote! Of course everyone knows who I would vote for, but sadly I don't have a voice in this one - though you could consider it a birthday gift to me and vote the way I would? Any takers? Well, no matter who you favour - just make sure that you are heard - every vote counts and all that cheesy stuff! I'm sure this will come to an exciting conclusion...
