Bits o' Good News Today

It started off when, ah, I took a later train this morning even though I got up at the regular time.
My sister dropped by my office. She's back at Kinectrics doing some contract work for a few days. Not only is she meeting her old friends here but the commute is half an hour less. Anyone could use an extra bit of shut-eye or hanging around with the kids, time.
The temperature peaked at 17°C during lunch time. Too bad I hadn't brought a pair of shorts with me. I did walk to the local Canadian and bought one of those 12V air compressors on sale for $10: the last time I went to the local gas station the air pump was broken.
My younger son got his first conditional university acceptance from Lakehead in Thunder Bay — about as far away from home as he could get, yet still be in Ontario. Apparently he was so elated he hugged and kissed his mom — very unusual for this boy. He has until June 16 to accept and it's conditional on keeping his average above 70.
My wife found out from her colleague, whom she job-shares with, that the principal of the school expects to keep the same arrangement for the next school year.
Well, not every thing was good this St. Patricks Day:
- All foreigners including UN staff and arms inspectors are scrambling to leave Iraq.
- President Bush gives Saddam and his family 48 hours to leave or “face the consequences”.
- I rolled up the rim but didn't win.
