Elections Canada has official hand sanitizer?! / Final stages / Awkward prayer

Steph and Lisa picked us up, and then they fielded a call from Jon - he was already at the townhouse?! We talked about voting and such on the way there. During the evening, we discussed many topics: the Boston-Montreal hockey game, doing dishes (bleh), the election results and how the candidates looked physically (some were really young!), when Eric would hurry up and finish counting ballots (he finally arrived before 9:10 with some official Elections Canada hand sanitizer for me - HAHAHA!), Jeremy's work, what "hotness" meant, the site with OLD candidate pictures, the Rhino Party, Communists and Marxist-Leninists, Lisa's new job / graduation, lamb, Whole Foods chocolate cake, Nathan's family dinner, SLB on Wednesday (Nate can pick us up), turkey, Grandma thinking I should let my friend sit down (not MY fault he was being HAK-HAI!), Reader's Digest stuff like a story about a guy with an axe in his head, coffee, tea, and Alice Wong.

We also talked about name recognition, Clement and Jocelyn's engagement, the NDP being the official opposition to the Conservatives, values, recipes, Kevin Weekes, black / Asian NHL players, strawberry pudding, mango pudding, durian pudding (EW), potatoes, vomitoriums, Randal's mom doing way worse (he sent us an email about the final stages), Eddie and Eunice finally getting engaged, flirting, Gene Simmons, Mom's deafness ("Nathan's dead?!") and confusion ("I can see the chemicals [between characters on CASTLE]" - she meant CHEMISTRY), and more. I asked Mom how she felt about Steph - "you know I'm not happy, but we'll just need to pray that they come back to Christ, since Lisa also comes from a Christian family!" :(
