Today, I told Adam to embrace Satan into his heart so that he'd burn at the threshold of the church and wouldn't have to suffer through the Christmas service with his girlfriend. He is an atheist, I'm gently agnostic, and his GF is quite Catholic.

Later, I asked him to explain cross-nested choice models to me and he said he'd do it, "but what's in it for me?" I said I wouldn't mention Satan again. And he said, "I'll take it."

ALSO I did catch a Bioware employee in a Platinum PUG in Mass Effect 3 (Hydra/Cerberus) last night. I outscored him (and everyone else) by 30%. I would have been happier if the host hadn't taken advantage of the Hydra map glitch and spent the entire match camping behind a decorative box.

On Tuesday I bought a Garmin etrex 20 GPS unit on the assumption that it would be probably better than my dad's tablet. Since then I've been clomping around Scarborough looking for caches.

Some of note -

Unguided tour of Milliken Park - my first multicache! fun and easy.
Kitaro - This cache has been active for nearly 11 years. I'm not sure the tree listed in the "hint" even exists anymore. Also if you want to see what a rotting logbook looks like this is the place to go.
Seeing you GO at Milliken - Someone put a decoy cache there. Ha. Yeah. I'm starting to feel like this is a video game, in which you feel up every lamppost hoping for loot to fall out.

Also I've been playing a lot of Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer lately.
