And it ends with a wimper.
As you can already tell, I have nothing to say. Politics is dead to me.
The time I used to spend blogging I now spend at the gym. As I said to some friends on the weekend - both you and I will be healthier for it.
Who knows the future will hold but for now I am far more focused on my new personal best on the 5K treadmill (28:21, I know, not great but I've shaved off 6 minutes in 6 weeks) than anything going on in Ottawa.
So, for now, I am now Apolitical Staples.

Aw. You’ll be missed. Hope to still meet up with you when I’m in town!

It`s been established that running on a treadmill is a fairly useless method of getting into shape .

And it has not been clearly established that that is all I am doing.

Good luck buddy. I don’t blame you. Better things to do than get caught up in the school yard antics, though I am still getting caught up in it. Maybe you ought to start a support group….

Dude! I’ll miss your insights, but I can certainly sympathize with the sentiment that’s driven you to the treadmill. Let me know if you’re in TO anytime soon.

Actually Dave H - I lost 35 lbs in 8 months of running on a treadmill 40 mins a day, 5 days a week. Seems to have worked for me.

I’ll miss you, but have to agree that there’s not much exciting/bloggable these days in Canadian politics that doesn’t sound/read like what I said 6 months (or 8 or 9 or 5 or 13) ago, and the US presidential God-will-it-ever-end race is consuming the airwaves.
Hope to see you get political again should the climate rate the effort.
As for the treadmill, I’m walking the dog a mile or two every night (I figure on cold nights I burn more calories, or so I hope, anyway)

Oh, you say that now, but once the election rolls around and the daily polls come out, you’ll be back ;-)

I heard through the grapevine that you’d packed it in. I’m sure like Calgary Grit says, you’ll be back ;-) For now I’m taking it easy on politics too. I feel so out of the loop, but am loving it (because the news is all so insignificant right now).

What? You can’t blog and workout and earn a living and be a dad and a husband and visit with friends and fit everything else into your life that you want to do?
What the hell are you doing with that 30th hour in your day, you slacker?
Heh. Best of luck, Greg, and be sure to keep in touch.
