Well, life after the election is starting up. Normal people are lucky - they just go back to their regular lives. Our regular lives revolved around the election, so we really have nothing to go back to.

Who knows what's going to happen. There are possibilities all over the map. Harper could offer dad a job in Ottawa or here. Or someone could offer him one completely unrelated to politics. Our people want dad to run again, something that we're not even bothering to think about right now. We've got at least a year, so we're taking our time recovering.

Dad is very, very connected. Right now people are just giving him some space and time to recover. His cold is going away, and he sounds a lot healthier. The campaign has proven to be a very good diet, though. He's lost 13 pounds due to lack of appetite.

So I predict that on Monday calls and offers will start coming in. He's already begun meeting with people for lunch.

So who knows what's going to happen, or where we're going to move. And as for me, I'm dealing with moving possibilities on an as-it-comes basis. I don't have to make a decision right now as to whether I should say out here or go back east. I'm scared I will, but I don't at this moment. I'll deal with the situations as they arrive.

Oh yes - Lorne Gunter suggests that there is not a rural/urban divide in Canada. Interesting stuff.

In other news, the Coldplay concert is tomorrow. And on Friday our family is going up to Whistler to ski for the weekend. Next week is my last week of work, and my passport came today.

And I'm not emailing a certain someone until he gets his head out of his ass and starts emailing me.
