live from sydney
So I’ve been in Cape Breton for almost two days now and it’s been more then interesting.
Tonight I met John Hamm, the premier of Nova Scotia. He shook my hand, asked my name and winked at me. Later on, I asked him if he had the chance to try out judo, whih prompted the laughter of all his hanger-ons.
According to rumour, the Prime Minister might stop by tommorrow. These active community things are perfect glad-handing happy moments for political types.
Other then that, the visit to Cape Breton has been interesting. We saw an 18-wheeler flipped on its side just after we crossed the Canso Causeway. I ran into Alex almost as soon as we showed up at the university, then later called him to see if I could use his logon information to access the secure wireless LAN.
It’s been busy, but not over whelming, and I’ve been keeping everyone in stitches to pass the time. Go me.
Out of curiousity, is there some context/background information on asking Hamm if he’d tried judo, or was that completely random?

there was a demonstration of judo at the Sport Fair and people were able to try out a couple of holds.
I mentioned it because it is completely insane to think of a 70 year old politico to be throwing another guy.
