So the Levaquin antibiotics seem to finally have gained the upper hand on the nasty (acute, as per the pre-admissions physician at the Jewish General Hospital said) bronchitis and accompanying fever etc that has hounded me for the last 3 weeks.
It was a great, relaxing weekend, with an early Saturday rise (somewhat) and the DFW/SO starting a well-needed re-organising of the boys’ rooms and cleanup in general. I had 3 eggs, 10 slices of bacon, 3 toasts with butter for breakfast (appetite is back) and 2 tuna/mayo/mustard sandwiches for lunch. After that it was finalising the cleanup and reorganising and furniture moving around, followed by relaxing and watching “So you think you can dance, Canada” (man, all of them in the top 20 can really groove!… all of them, but the blonde in the blue outfit, mmmmmmmm)…
Then some absolutely scrumptious Lamb Balti and Basmati before heading out for the 22:00 late showing at the ScotiaBank cinema of the new war & romance flick Passchendaele by Paul gross… it was great, if not quite in the “sequence” that we both felt it would be. The second half of the movie has most of the actual combat scenes and as it is a WW1 movie there is very overt and visually intense depictions of how close the combat was in the 1st world war….

I was undecided between 3 parties up until yesterday, and even today I was see-sawing between 2 parties… the conundrum between contributing to the popular vote overall point spread, the local candidates platforms, which one of my local candidates’ web positioning (or lack thereof) appealed to me most…
and of course, the impact on which Federal leader my riding vote would ultimate commit to.
There are, of course, long term (long tail?) strategies involved in voting (keep in mind that tonights election numbers will be used as part of the long tail strategy for the elections in 2009 LOL…)
Anyhow, so today I was caught between two parties… and finally I decided in the last minute based on a blended analysis of metrics from analytics at various levels from a glocal point of view.
The important thing is to vote.
So, for those who follow my updates on Twitter, you already know that my riding polling station experience was most efficient!
That, combined with the lack of DART troop deployment and police escorting voters in and out (remember that happens in many countries)…, made the experience most satisfying.
We’ll see about the end result / endgame. My boys have already started learning about taxation and the reasons behind it.. from yours truly
