It may be true that in the long run in the working world, where you went doesn't matter, but it does affect the people you'll meet -- you can blackmail them later in life. At Queen's, there's a good chance that your schoolmates will move on to do big things in high-profile places.

If you ever see me quietly gliding down a little side street, typing into a blackberry instead of drinking in that peaceful setting, you have permission to run me over, brake, back up and crush me again -- just to be sure.

Let's leave those photos in the vault. (I thought all surviving images had been destroyed! We are married now, anyway.) I promise not to bikeBerry, unless it is for a deadline-related emergency on a sleepy one-way street with no cars. And any more than "ok" and "send" means pull over. Any added risk is surely cancelled out by my other riding habits: I may be the only cyclist in Toronto to actually use turn signals and stop (or at the very least yield right of way) at lights and stop signs.
