News Update

As the week began, Wendy, Erin and Kristian were in Saskatchewan, and, Eric, Erica and the boys were in Disney World. It was quiet around the house. We had a batch of cold weather, but it warmed up toward the end of the week. Now that it is the end of February, we are expecting that winter is about over. I am looking forward to spring and the golf season, even more than usual this year. Work has been pretty dismal these past two weeks, but there was a highlight on Thursday, as the strike was settled. Now work can return to normal, and I can get back to my travel schedule. Eric, Erica, Haaken and Liam returned on Wednesday morning after a great time in Florida. Then the house returns to its usual bustle. I continue my exercise program at the university fieldhouse. The Canadian men's hockey team fails miserably at the Olympics, but we're comforted by the women's team winning gold. Then the curling teams both come through with medals so that's good. Overall, we set a new record for the most medals ever by Canada, as we sit near the top of the standings with countries like USA, with only Germany out in front. We feel good about that!

So that's the kind of week it's been. Next week I'm looking forward to Wendy and crew's return from Regina.
