News Update

Another week has passed here on the shore of Lake Superior. With Easter behind us (the earliest Easter until 2160 someone has informed me!), we look forward to golf season. The weather is definitely turning, our snow is rapidly sinking away, and the lawn is appearing. However, driving by the golf course today revealed that it will still be some weeks before the course is ready!

We start the week with Eric/A and the boys here for Easter weekend, so that was a good time. We held over the family dinner until Monday. Then it was back to work for the rest of the week. I had a trip to Toronto on Thursday evening for a MISA Leaders workshop on Friday. We were informed that the program will continue in some form, as funding has been set aside, but we won't get the details until May. Anyway, this is some relief as we don't think our small schools are ready to proceed on their own. It may also represent further employment for me, but now we'll have to wait until we see the details to see how much funding is available.

I am enjoying the Women's World Curling championships from Vernon, BC this week. Canada has progressed to the final that will be played tomorrow afternoon.

Wednesday features another visit to my oncologist. He notes that my PSA is slightly better—8.10 instead of 8.15, and that he feels this is still caused by a chronic infection. He says that with the DRE everything feels fine—I beg to differ! He schedules me for another round of testing in August before a September appointment.

Kristian had a period of flu-like symptoms, but now he is back to his usual rambunctious self, so that's nice to see. He is off to daycare three days a week and seems to enjoy and participate in that very well. Erin is doing well at work, but is not making good progress in the final classes, and needs to get moving on those.

Travis is completing another semester of classes soon. We enjoyed supper out with them this evening.

And that's about it for this week.
