I've been deluged in mail congratulating me on the Order of Canada thing. Thanks everyone!

One of the odd little email debate threads has been about the t-shirt I'm wearing in the photograph used in the CBC news article. It's my Ralph Steadman/Hunter Thompson shirt that reads "When the going gets Weird" on the front, and "the weird turn pro" on the back. Very appropriate given how crazy the early years were, especially pre-1995. Thanks Mike, Ed, Patrick, Chris, Jon, Craig, Al, Bob, Dave, Joe, Don, Faye, Cindy, Chuck and Sheueling.
