Kiara pulled off a big surprise for Father’s Day: she’s sending me to YAPC::NA! We’re spending a couple days in Toronto before the conference, then I’m immersing myself in Perlish goodness for three straight days while she treats the time as a writing retreat. We’ll try to spend the evenings doing fun stuff around town. We were trying to figure out how to swing a short vacation in Canada this August to mark our tenth anniversary, and this is it. How very cool.
