...a proper slavic stage-name...

My previous post was number 888, a nice round significant number. I'm glad it was an upbeat one. Here's something even more upbeat: Stephane Dion (amazingly) won the Liberal leadership today on the 4th ballot. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Canadian delegates got it right and avoided falling into the topsy-turvy, inconsistent vaccuum that is Ignatieff. Instead they made a point that environment is a top concern, the military issue in Iraq is not something about which we can be ambiguous, and the liberals need a strong, consistent step forward.

The next three days are exam heavy so I will make myself scarce from work, writing, life, and play -- I will emerge the better for it, later in the week. Kisses all around -
