News Update

It has been another busy week on the shore of Lake Superior, and only some of us are making it above average.

Of course, the big news of the week is the reopening of the golf courses. As you may remember, I was given a golf membership, by my family, for the three courses owned by the city. My courses opened on Friday, and I played my first round of the season.

It has been a busy week of work as the annual reporting on my program is due at monthend. I managed to finish those up and send them Friday morning, and, so far, they haven't fired any of them back at me! Now my attention turns to revamping the plans for the next two years of this three year project. The plans are due by May 15th. I also have a semi-annual report to the school administrators group due on the 12th, so I'll be preparing my presentation for that event as well.

The others here have regained a healthier behaviour although there's still plenty of coughing going on. Wendy is back on her regular gym schedule, and has also begun painting next door at the church building. Erica was off to Ottawa this week—I hope she got some input into the federal budget that we're expecting next week! I have continued to suffer to a greater degree from seasonal hayfever. I finally gave up on my Reactine and moved onto Chlor-Tripolon, so we'll see how that progresses. I have been doing better in recent years, but there must be some additional issues down here on the shores of Lake Superior.

As I mentioned, I had my first golf game of the season. It did not go nearly as well as I had been imagining, visually, and dreaming! My newly refined, developed and enhanced golf swing did not reduce my game by the promised seven strokes! I shot 87—more work is needed. I'm still living with my dream of breaking 80! And I shall keep trying. There were some bright spots—my iron play was good, my putting and chipping were good. My driving was very bad! Sigh!

And that's the kind of week it has been.
