Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior, in my hometown. The weather is spring-like with melting clearing the streets and roads, and pot-hole season beginning! I've been preoccupied all week with curling as the Brier is on. Saskatchewan did not do well, and didn't even make the playoffs. My longtime favourite, Kevin Martin, has not performed up to par either; he will be playing for the bronze medal game tomorrow against Brad Gushue of Newfoundland. The Manitoba team of Jeff Stoughton has looked the best, and they're in the final tomorrow against the Glenn Howard team from Ontario. Work has gone fine, but now it is March-break so I only have one charter next week. The markets had a tough week and the TSX was down 5.25% at one point on Thursday. I managed to avoid some of the downturn, and even got a bit of recovery on Friday, but I'm still down over 1% for the week. The effects from the unrest in the middle east and the massive earthquake/tsunami in Japan will continue to play out over the next while.
Wendy has been in Regina celebrating birthdays for her dad and herself. She returned on Thursday evening, and we went out for her birthday supper last night. I always enjoy marking her birthday since it initiates the four-month period when she sports a bigger number than I do! However, despite her advanced age, she was back at work yesterday!
Erin and Kristian have been occupied as per usual with work, school and daycare. Kristian got new running shoes and enjoyed conning Travis to let him take them to school. He's also off for the next week as schools take a March break.
Trav's hockey team lost out in the final game of the semi-final round of playoffs. That was disappointing, but Travis continues to really enjoy coaching, and notes that this year was even more fun than last year. The team is considering taking part in another tournament yet before ending the season. Joanna started work, and seems to enjoy poking people to get their blood! Getting paid for it is a bonus!
And that's the kind of week it has been.
