News Update

Another week passes on the shore of Lake Superior. The weather has been beautiful all week, although, of course, it's cool and rainy for the weekend! The golf courses are open, but there are plenty of soggy spots! I plant the lawn in the back yard; it's a new eco-lawn that is supposed to grow without fertilizer or watering, and can even be left uncut if one wishes! Of course, I guess all lawns can be left uncut if one wishes, but this one is supposed to look good if left uncut! We'll see! The Stanley Cup playoffs are starting to get more serious—we're down to eight teams now. My favourite has already been knocked off, so I'm looking for another team to cheer for!

I'm back on the road again. This week we went to Hornepayne (about five hours to the east). I installed the new management system for 'tangible capital assets' (thanks, Erica, that was well received) and provided directions on its use. Then I worked in the school, helping with some issues for the school secretary and with the librarian on some data input and management issues. Then I did some training of the principals and the special education teacher on analyzing data. "We've got lots of data—what we need is some information!" Next week, we head west to Atikokan and Mine Centre for more of the same!

Wendy and I are working on the back yard. As I mentioned, I've seeded the lawn, and we (read—Wendy) have plans to install some cedars and drip irrigation along two sides of the back fence.

Kristian is doing well. He had an appointment with the hearing specialist this week, but refused to cooperate so they couldn't get a good reading. Maybe next time! Erin continues with work, and a bit of a search for a house to buy.

Travis is at his summer work. He and Sylvia were over for Friday night supper.

And that's about it for this week.
