it's been nice staying at 1270 these past few days (on my way out east). i forgot what it was like to live with so many people, always something to do, always something going on. today was a day of firsts for the gents here, including:

1. First baby delivered - Jason
(Jason is in his second year of perimedification at 'the gonk'. Pretty incredible I would say. His description was graphic enough to convince me that he was telling the truth. Apparently it's pretty easy.)

2. First load of laundry done by self - Bruce
(Impressive, I know. Ladies, he's available - and he knows how to sort his colours! Also, while unrelated, Bruce gets points for having the same last name as me.)

3. First car purchased - Dan
(A 99 Volks Golf with 225K. Seems nice enough for $3500, though tomorrow will be the real test. Here's hoping I didn't buy a lemon.)
