Another week has passed along the shore of Lake Superior where the women are strong, the men are older and all the children are above average! It has been a nice week of catching up on things around the house and yard and celebrating my 58th birthday! Thanks for all the good wishes and cards sent by so many of you.
Sunday featured a church picnic out at Gord & Nora's—the weather was great, the food and fellowship were fine.
On Monday, I got back into golfing. I played at my usual home course, Chapples, and managed an 83 (+12), raising my handicap to 13.5. There were some encouraging signs, but mostly it featured inconsistency off the tee and only my short game allowed me to salvage a score.
Tuesday was special because I completed my antibiotics. My foot is looking pretty good with only a bit of redness remaining from the attack of cellulitus.
And Wednesday was of course my birthday! We enjoyed a special supper of barbecued pork chops and scalloped potatoes; and of course, we had an ice cream cake for dessert! Some friends came over to celebrate with us, and to play some Texas Hold'em! It was fun! Erin was the big winner; Wendy and I both went broke, so I'd better not give up my day job!
Having solved several OnSIS problems this week, the golf course beckoned on Thursday. While I was more consistent off the tee, I couldn't manage to score well ending with 87 and raising my handicap to 13.8! It's been a steady decline all season.
I had a budget meeting Friday morning, and it now looks like I have funding for about five months—what about the other seven?!
Saturday morning afforded a couple hours of golf practice—let's hope it'll do some good! We closed off the week watching the Riders win in Calgary and improve to 6-0 for the first time in over seventy years!
Erin & Kristian have been suffering with coughs most of the week. Kristian is quite a bit improved by today. Wendy and Erin have both applied for new jobs, so good luck to them!
And that's about it for this week!
