Excellent. I hope to discuss them with you soon!

I want to borrow those after you're done if possible. ;)

You know what though? Yesterday I was picked up at King George Station at 9:00pm (you know, drug addict and prostitute hour in Surrey) and for some reason we thought it would be fun to go down 152nd instead of King George which was almost free of any flooding. Anyway, 152nd partway down was flooded, so we had to go over to 164th which ended and so we turned onto another flooded street and had to go around some barricades which weren't there when we went down. Finally we found Fraser Hwy, which despite being partially blocked allowed us to get home. Stupid freaking rain.

At any rate, that is not your last Christmas present! You still have one from me, which I am loathe to send in the mail for some obvious reasons that will become apparent later on. And so of course we must get together again. Perhaps sometime when cliomuse is settled in your home so that I can finally meet her. Or whenever. As long as we're clear on the present issue ( ... )

About time you found your way into the Universe. I expect to hear from you about them too. I mean if you don't get to read them through missy here - you know when you can borrow mine. ;)
