Yesterday, Alicia & Paul took Tod and I to a Vancouver Whitecaps game ((although I think they should be called the Burnaby Whitecaps, as Swanguard stadium is on the eastside of Boundary Rd.))

Happy 12:34:56 7/8/9
While some people celebrated this numberific occasion back on July 8, I’ve been saving it for today because I prefer to write the dates in day-month-year order, which makes sense, rather than in the crazy, out-of-order month-day-year ((I realize that this stems from the way you would speak a date – “August 8th, 2009″, but […] →Read more
