Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been comfortable and we're enjoying daytime highs above zero. I've been fighting a cough all week, and now Wendy is diagnosing bronchitus! We'll see how it develops, but I may need to get the doctor to check it out. US markets have surged ahead on the back of their growing economy, but the TSX fell 2% this week as we suffered a loss of jobs for the past month. As a result, I have sold off some of my holdings but still ended up making quota for the week, while dropping my buy-in to about 25%. The Grey Cup game was quite competitive, but ended as feared—congrats to Calgary! The Canada Cup of curling is on this week, so I've been enjoying that. My favourite, Kevin Koe, did not make the playoffs. Mike McEwen will play Brad Jacobs in the men's final tomorrow, while Rachel Homan will play Val Sweeting in the women's final.
Eric, Erica and Haaken are enjoying Vancouver this weekend. They took in the Corner Gas movie this evening. Erica has a couple more weeks of work in Parksville, but who's counting?! Haaken was shopping his art portfolio at Emily Carr University this weekend.
Kristian is recovering from strep throat, and continuing to work on his eye infection—tough times for my little buddy! He had two field trips from school, one to the RCMP Barracks, the other to go skating. They visited a play centre today. Otherwise, Erin continues with work and home as usual. They put up their Christmas decorations this week.
Trav & Joanna continue to be very busy producing against all the hockey orders they've been getting recently. They do very nice work! Gemma and Andrew are progressing well. We're glad to see them doing well in their new school.
And that's about enough for this week.
