Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better

So says my son who picked up my copy of Animal Farm an hour or two ago. He's finished it and was less than impressed with the book, he followed it up with statements like "gee the sheep were dumb".

On that note, I have stepped down from committee work and as I say "I have divorced my department". The fight for ethics and professional integrity is no longer one that I'll be involved in, it's just not my fight anymore. It feels good, I should have done this several months ago.

And the whole riot thing? Mainly three groups - professional rioters, a few homeless people and a number of spoiled, bored young people. I can't get very invested in it - arrest those those you can (kudos to people giving their pix to the police), charge and fine where appropriate. Then hopefully have some intelligent discourse about what went wrong and what to do next time.

My daughter and I were playing hockey on the driveway this afternoon (yes, It's Canada, we do that sort of thing). She said we were the Canucks and that we had just won - I asked her if we should break some windows to celebrate and she gave a resounding "NO". She's almost four and already gets it (or at least understands the politically correct answer).

If you have found your way here, I hope everything is going well. Actually I hope things are going well for you even if you didn't find your way here but ..well.. you'll never know.
