News Update

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Wascana in the middle of the prairie. The weather has been favourable, albeit a bit hot for me most of the week. It has moderated this weekend and I'm enjoying that. Wendy has been helping reorganize Kristian's Lego, and many other aspects of Erin's apartment. There remains more to do. We've also run some errands for Dad, and enjoyed having supper over there a couple of times as well courtesy Bern & Alicia—thank you! I've been busy with computer issues and hope I have that cleared up for now. The markets have remained troubled, but a good day Friday eased the pain a fair bit. The Riders were back into the fray with a game this evening against Toronto. It was a much better effort and we certainly enjoyed getting back into the win column. The Jays have continued to struggle, but they're still in the play off chase, and won their game in New York today. 

The big news from the coast was from Liam as he announced that he has a girlfriend, Jenny. However, she is off for three weeks of sea cadets as of today, so they set up a double date to see Malificent last evening. Haaken is learning modelling with computer animation at Emily Carr. He is enjoying his course—just one week left! Uncle Dave stopped in for a visit, but he's off for Karaoke now. Eric has been weeding their stuff and packing for the move. He has one more week of work before he's done in Parksville. 

Erin and Kristian have been hosting us during our time in Regina. Thanks guys! Kristian had golf camp on Tuesday. That was six hours of golf practice, and he was still hard at it by the end of the time. Impressive! He had a milk carton full of balls and managed to hit out most of them! 

Trav & Joanna are taking care of things in TBay. Now that Gemma and Andrew have returned from TO, things are busier around the house. 

And that's about it for this week.
