"Hola from Mexico," he said as part of his attempt to secure the reputation for the tritest post titles ever.
Yes, I'm in Mexico, and yes, it's at one of those all-inclusive places, where "all" means "everything but the internet". Meaning that if my addiction was alcohol instead, I'd be considerably richer.
One thing that *is* included, though, is custard: all of it I can eat which is, as those of you who have ever seen me consume custard are aware, quite a bit. It's getting quite absurd. I'm actually deliberately moderating my intake of included alcohol for fear that over-indulgence would lead to hangovers, which would lead to reduced consumption of custard.
Custard: it's my favourite vegetable.
Election? Haven't been following it much, except to read Paul Wells just about as religiously as ever. My only two observations at this point:
1. From having read most of an article on the subject, I'm quite confident that it is not incumbent on Ralph Goodale to step aside. No, I'm not joking.
2. Gord Stamp appears to be getting Peter Goldring into some trouble. Gord was VP (Internal) of the U of A Students' Union (in 1986-1987, I think, though I could be off by a couple of years), and I dealt with him extensively back when I had a job that included tracking down former S.U. Exec members, because he seems to have kept his network very much intact. He was extremely helpful. Based on what I read about him in old Gateways, though, he was also batshit insane.
Anyway, I'm off to continue putting to the test the hypothesis that man cannot live by custard alone. Probably no more posts until I get home, but I've been known to lie about such things (as well as any number of others) before.
