Kristin

Today I was at an all day seminar at the Bella Centre - coincidentally just a hop, skip and jump away from the airport. The timing was perfect, we ended at 5pm, and Kristin was due at 5:25pm. I had instructed her to come down to meet me on the train platform, but I realized when I got there that there were two entrances on opposite ends. I paced back and forth across the lengthy platform for about 15 minutes scrutinizing the faces of all the lone female travellers. Good thing I'm not a guy, I would have seemed such a creep! For some reason, I was looking for Kristin's hair, but I didn't have any recent data on that so almost every young woman seemed a likely candidate. I had sooo many false positives because I would like at the hair and think, my god she changed her hair so much! Short hair, long hair, brown hair, blonde hair, bangs... it was becoming very apparent that I chose a bad feature to filter on. I finally gave up looking, stationed myself on a luggage cart and booted up my laptop to get her phone number. During the loooong start up Kristin herself came up to me with a smile, in her unmistakeable shoulder length light brown hair.

We've been having a really good time catching up (on the past six years!) and are now dutifully entering in our NaBloPoMo submissions. Kristin suggested a joint post but we decided that Kern would never stand for it. There ya go Kern, we refuse to go down on a technicality! hahaha I could just lock Kristin out of our computers and she'd be out, but like Optimus Prime, I happen to have an overdeveloped sense of honour!!

Actually there is a proud comic book tradition of stories occuring simultaneously across multiple titles; I would have considered a joint blog entry a fine homage to such unforgettable stories as "Secret Wars", "The Fall of the Mutants" and others.

OK, probably not. :)
