I just got an email saying that the Library of Congress will not be attending the 2003 ALA/CLA conference in Toronto. Bastards! I understand the concern some people have about the Toronto SARS scare. But the thing, in my view has been overblown and is not like it is in Asia. I believe the L of C decision was political in nature - likely due to anti Canadian sentiment in Washington, D.C. I think the Bush Administration may have *encouraged* L of C staff not to go. Maybe I'm overreacting but I don't think that Americans would have the same paranoia and mistrust over New York, Chicago, or L.A having a Toronto type SARS issue. Just heard that the Canadian Loonie continued its upward spiral and is hovering around 74 cents to the U.S. dollar.
Well here are my Friday Five answers for June 6, 2003.
How many times have you truly been in love? Once
What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most? Personality and being attractive
What qualities should a significant other have? Have a sense of humor and strong self esteem
Have you ever broken someone's heart? Yes
If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be? Be honest
Hmm... these questions seemed better suited for Valentines Day. I FINALLY finished reading the book In Harm's Way. I've also been reading The Dilbert Principle - hilarious book! It's nice to have new carpeting in my bedroom - so soft! The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I could have fared much worse with the water damage the apartment suffered a couple of weeks ago. I'm still working out twice a week - Wednesdays and weekends. I'm not lifting as much weight compared to when I peaked four years ago but it's better than nothing. I am lifting more now than two years ago but have very little cardio workouts. My nightly walks around the block aren't enough! Hopefull our eventual move north will allow me to ride my bike. That's all for now...
