News Update

It has been another week of beautiful weather on Lake Superior in my hometown, but we've been enjoying the less salubrious climes of Saskatchewan. Even, so the weather has been nice here as well, with much melting, but there's still much snow to go! Back home, the fairways are greening, and thoughts are turning to the annual frustration! When we awoke Friday morning to fresh snow, we realized our decision to head east was a good one, and we drove as far as Kenora. We celebrated Erica's birthday last night. We plan to complete the trip tomorrow.

Thank you Dad, Dave & Kresten for hosting us so comfortably while we were in Regina. It was also great to connect with many others in that part of the country. Thank you Eric/A and the boys for hosting us this weekend in Kenora. Thank you Erin and Trav for keeping the house in order while we've been away—you have been keeping the house in order, haven't you!

The week began with a thrilling extra-end victory by Kevin Koe in the men's national curling championship. The week ends with Jennifer Jones and her Canadian women's champs beginning the world championships in Swift Current with a come-from-behind victory over Sweden. It's a great time of the year to watch curling! And we still have the world's men championships to come.

I have not been dedicating much effort to investments this week, and it may have been just as well as the markets have been sketchy. I tried one Trailing Stop ploy, but it ended prematurely and at a small loss, so I'll need do more thinking about that strategy. In sum, I continue to be stuck at an 8.0% gain, and I'm closing in on half a year, so I'll need to work hard for the remaining eight trading days!

Kristian has been travelling with us, and doing very well. Naturally he's been the centre of attention, and he likes that! He has continued to have some sores in his ears caused by the hearing aids, so we've been medicating that, and giving him more time without hearing aids in. Once we get home, his mom can get him whipped backed into shape!

Erin and Trav both managed to fail the Daylight Saving Time transition last weekend (guess they should live in Saskatchewan!). We managed it just fine! But then, we were in Saskatchewan!

Wendy has been busy with getting new toys for Kristian and helping with meals all week.

And that's about it for this week.
