plinth

it's kind of ironic, or perhaps just a funny coincidence, that within a week of shannon losing her camera, we lost our camera charger. she has a charger and we have a camera, and yet they're useless together.

i've been listening to cbc radio at my workstation. i'm particularly fond of cbc sonica. i was telling brendan "i don't know what sonica is, or what it means, but i like it". since then i've discovered that sonica is an "adult alternative" station. that still doesn't explain a lot to me about it's name, but i'm struck my the use of the word "adult". it's not that it came as a surprise to me that i'm an adult - i've had a career job for a decade, have a baby and own a house. but radio stations with the word "adult" in it conjure up concepts or notions in my head of this strange and baffling grown-ups i observed as a teenager with their high pants and lawn mowing. it's interesting that being an "adult" is not at all how i perceived it in my salad days. it's actually not so bad. all this said... i'm really digging being able to listen to the cbc in millhaven.

i'm pretty sure that i've been sitting incorrectly on a bike my entire life.
now, i realize that doesn't seem possible, but believe me... i've discovered that it is.
