I'm finally home after spending a week in Montreal for work. Montreal is a fabulous city (not that I saw much of it on this trip; I spent 9 hours minimum a day inside a meeting room at the hotel) but I am very, very happy to be home.

1. It's my brother's birthday
Not really a news item, just a statement of fact.
