TechBC randomness

robbat2Earlier in the week, I had a weird dream. "So what?" you ask! I seldom remember dreams, and even if I do they are even less worth writing about.
The core portion of the dream had Brittney Brokenshire (neé Bogyo, a former classmate of mine at TechBC) and her father, Terry, kidnapped by a BC union organization that had gone militant (in the style of the Shi'te militias of Iraq, as portrayed by western media). The dream ended with me talking to David Brokenshire about how he was handling it (the dream contained no conclusion to the kidnapping), and Paul (David's brother) arranging all the flowers that were being sent to the home from well-wishers.
Anyway, while I thought the dream was strange at the time, it a random occurrence later this week that made me wonder. Yesterday I went to the FedEx depot at the airport, to collect package that I had missed the delivery of. It turns out that the FedEx depot is a MAJOR pita to get to via public transit. The best you can do is get to the Airport transfer station, and then walk the next 1.5km, because the 424 bus loops around the wrong way (you can use it on the way back, but not effectively on the way there). After collecting my package and returning to the Airport transfer station to continue back to Vancouver proper, a fellow walked up to the stop, and I was certain I knew him, but could remember his name. I said "Hi" anyway, and he recognized me.
For the TechBC lurkers on my journal, Micheal Cox is back in town! He moved back to Vancouver 3 weeks ago, after his 2.5 years in London. He's still doing Oracle stuff, still for the same company. He's engaged to be married, sometime in the last quarter of 2007. He doesn't really drive much anymore - Living in London has converted him to public transit (the Tube did it he says).
Of the random bits gleaned from Micheal, David and Brittney are relocating to New Zealand, to follow Vive Kumar for David's doctorate.
