News Update

Another week closes here on the rainy shore of Lake Superior. I have spent most of the week on the road once again, so it's nice to enjoy the weekend around home.

After working in the office on Monday, I head out to Mine Centre, about three hours west of here. We are booked for two days there, and another two days in Atikokan which is an hour closer to home. We plan to spend our nights in Atikokan, however, plans change. We spend the first night in the Atikokan Hotel. Now, my back was built in 1950, but it does not typically enjoy a bed that was constructed that long ago, so it was a long night with little sleep! I get up with a stiff back, a sore neck and an unhappy disposition. My travelling companion, Wes, has not had any better of it in his room, and he was further bothered by the noise. We determine to stay there no longer. The only other hotel in town is fully booked, but Wes knows of a fishing lodge nearby, so we check that out and are delighted to get accommodated there for one night. It's lovely, and we catch up on some of our sleep. We can't find a place for the third night so we end up commuting from TBay for the last day! The work goes well, and we get both schools moved forward quite well in preparation for report cards and the first set of reports to the Ministry.

Here is a link that Wes set up. If you have a good internet connection, I invite you to try it out as it shows the locations of our schools. You will have to patch it together to get it into the address bar.

Work goes well for Erin, babysitting goes well for Wendy, life goes well for Kristian! Wendy is showing good progress in her new therapy with the chiropractor.

We also have some heartbreaking news to report on the home front as Sylvia and Travis have separated.

And that's about it for this week.
