Escaped all the turbulance

June 25, 2000 by Michael Boyle

from this move yesterday by getting out of town for the night. It was a short trip, but much needed. I awoke this morning to a hard rainfall; the noise of the drops permeated the whole house, which is a really soothing sound. Then I made some eggs, it cleared up, and I drove home. Now that I have somewhere inside to keep it, I’ve brought my bike back from the country house so I can start riding to work in the morning.

Ah, long weekends!

June 23, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Tomorrow is St. Jean Baptiste day, named after the patron saint of Quebec. This means different things to different people. For some, it’s the Fte Nationale, the National Holiday, with all the attendant celebration. For others, it’s just “that long weekend in June I always forget about”. For still others it’s the Stardust picnic, hosted for the past few years by Blue Rodeo. For me – there’s a patio furniture clearance sale at Wal-Mart, and several used/antique furniture stores to visit, plus I might call up my Official Plant Consultant to help me foliate my new apartment.

Nothing particularly new

in June’s back page article (entitled www.buythis.com) in Le Monde Diplomatique, but it’s always interesting to see what’s being published about the internet on the Continent. Don’t worry, it’s in English.

My goodness, Bill

is saying some pretty tame, boring stuff when he talks about [Making] Way for New Net Era. “The internet will become the platform, he predicted.” Uh, that and $3.50 will buy you a half-caf latt.
