Makes no difference where I go

Tomorrow I am going back to the Winter Prairies, just for three days, but three is a lot of days for someone who has avoided that place for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of days. I am going to a conference, a conference I decided to attend specifically because it would take me home in March, and not because I have any specific interest in artificial intelligence (although I can get pretty jazzed about the real thing), and how we interpret this out-of-character behaviour is a mystery. I am feeling some regret at having committed to this.

This afternoon I attended a long and boring governance meeting over Zoom, chaired by CA, who started the meeting with a territory acknowledgment and a photo of some grey and blustery beach photos of Tofino.  Tofino, she said, it’s very very moody.

Me toooooo, I said, out loud, realizing too late that microphone was on.
