Made it, Ma. Top of the world PAUL SULLIVAN Monday, March 5, 2001 Hi mom. I realize it's been six months since my last e-mail, but things have been hopping here at Airware.com. First, we worked 24/7 trying to get the application to work in time for the IPO. Then, of course, we cancelled that after the market went south, so we had to move the whole operation into Jason's garage. You remember him -- he's the chairman, president and CEO. I think the experience has really aged him. He's really starting to look his full 26 years. Though it's been hard at times, I think it was a good idea to move to Vancouver and take this job. Oh, that reminds me. No one's been paid since Christmas, but Jason says that's only an accounting thing. So if you could lend me a few hundred bucks, I'll pay you back when the cheques come in. I figure, with overtime, I have $67,000 coming my way. Back to Vancouver. I guess you heard that Vancouver is the No. 1 city in the world? It was all over the news last week about how the world's largest recruiting firm, William Mercer, did a survey of the best cities and rated Vancouver above them all -- San Francisco, Paris, Rome, London -- in terms of quality of life. Toronto and Montreal didn't even come close, like No. 19. You don't have to convince me. I mean, I'm proud to call Dauphin, Manitoba, my home, but this place is amazing. The winter's so warm that young girls stand on street corners in short shorts (at least that's what I've been told, as I've got no reason to go to that part of town on my own). Unlike Baghdad and places like that, they have no trouble getting people to come to work here from foreign countries. Like those massage-therapy girls who came all the way from Malaysia. At least I think it was something to do with massage. I guess that was a sad story about the 11-year-old girl getting kidnapped from the mall in Portland, Oregon, and forced to work as a prostitute on Commercial Drive, but a woman came on TV and assured us she was hardly the youngest. Anyway, I went to my first Grizzlies game on the weekend. They lost 112-86 to some team from Los Angeles (No. 33 in the world), but I was glad to get a chance to see them before the owner moves them to Anaheim or thereabouts. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, as Los Angeles already has three NBA teams, and now Vancouver won't have any, but that's basketball, I guess. It was lucky I moved to Vancouver before Labour Day and got to see the Vancouver Indy, because the CART people are going to move it to Denver in 2002. I guess they could have told folks in Vancouver rather than just giving the date to Denver, but that's car racing, I guess. Oh -- don't worry about the earthquake, okay? I'm fine! I realize it must have sounded pretty scary, but the centre of the quake was closer to Seattle (No. 35), and we didn't have any real damage, although it shut down our system, and we're still trying to get it rebooted (that's tech talk for trying to start it up again). And speaking of Seattle, Vancouver would never allow anything like the Mardi Gras violence that happened last week. On New Year's Eve, Constable Anne Drennan told everybody they better have someplace to go and don't expect to come downtown and just party. The police have more to do than run around after a bunch of drunks. After all, there are 10,000 heroin addicts in Vancouver, and it's the port of entry for most of the heroin that comes into the country, and since they disbanded the Port Authority police, the Vancouver police have been really busy. This weekend, I want to go see the Capilano Suspension Bridge. You know -- they were investigating that woman because they thought she threw her baby off the bridge, but she said she just slipped. Anyway, no harm done. The baby survived and got to live with her mommy again. I probably won't get to go because I think the Lions Gate Bridge will be closed again for repairs -- it's only about a year behind. I should probably just spend the weekend in Jason's garage in case there are any aftershocks. I've sort of started living in my cubicle, because I can't afford the $1,200 rent for that room in the West End. I think my cubicle's bigger anyway. Got to go, mom. I sure am glad I didn't take that job in Calgary. I think Vancouver's a super place, but if this is life in the world's No. 1 city, it's hard to imagine what it's like in No. 27.
