Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Wascana. Weather dipped to -30 early in the week, but it returned to above zero temps with rain this weekend—wild extremes! Now, they are threatening us with a return to -30! The markets also suffered through extremes as we moved up nicely early in the week, however when fears of currency problems around the world arose, the indexes climbed into the proverbial hand basket and hit descend! As a result, I lost most of the gains I had accumulated at the start of the week and only ended a little bit up. Wendy has gradually recovered from her illness, and is busily engaged in shopping and taking care of the rest of us! I've come down with something today, and spent most of the day in bed. The North American team easily won the Continental Cup of Curling in Las Vegas. I turn my attention to the national championships over the next several weeks. This week it's the Juniors. We suffered a plumbing failure here at the house, so the bathroom wall is cut open and repairs are being planned and done. American football has taken the week off, however Peyton Manning easily handled New England last weekend, and has moved into the Super Bowl, so I remain engaged!
Eric/A and the boys are keeping busy with life in Parksville. We haven't heard much from them this week.
Erin & Kristian experienced some down time with the flu. Both were home ill at the start of the week, and Kristian spent Thursday here with us as it appeared he wasn't quite over it.
Trav & Joanna keep busy with work and sports. They scored a contract for their Stickerz spin-off to develop a tournament logo and imprint the specialty pucks for the upcoming hockey tournament. Trav's team lost in the semi-finals of the tournament last weekend.
And that's about enough for this week.
