Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been nice, and we've been able to get out to enjoy it. Wendy is walking with her friend, Charlene, so my walks have tended toward the golf course! The driving range and practice area are open, so, now I'm even more certain that this is going to be a big year for me. That feeling will continue until seconds after I reach the first tee! Wendy has continued with painting all week. She has completed painting the living room and hallway ceilings. And she has the primer on the living room walls. There was a vibrant decoration on one wall, so it appears a second coat of primer will be needed. I've done some yard work, and the lawns are greening up. Wendy is still pondering what I should be doing with the back lawn. We had a dugout area for the trampoline, but she may be cancelling that. In that case, I will need to fill the hole, and plant it to grass. The rhubarb is up; it's always nice to see that each Spring. The markets began the week lousy, running up five straight days of red until finally things turned green for Thursday and Friday. However, I fell far short of quota for the month, and will have to try to make it up in May—what do you mean, "Sell in May, and go away!" Last year May was an excellent month; perhaps even more reason to avoid it this year! The first round of NHL playoffs are complete and I picked 6 of the 8 winners. The NHL brackets have placed the top two teams in each conference against each other, so I'm hard-pressed to pick winners in this round. I'm picking Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay in the East, and St. Louis and San Jose in the West. It was pretty tough picking against Washington and Dallas. The Blue Jays continue to play mediocre ball—not good enough guys! The Champions Cup is on in curling, the final event of the Grand Slam calendar. My guy, Kevin Koe, has made the playoffs again.
Eric/A are in Regina this weekend along with Haaken. Erin and Kristian took Erica shopping for some new work clothes for her new job with Deloitte. Eric is looking for more staff at his place of work. They all got together to celebrate Eric's birthday tonight.
Travis continues to be busy with work even though this is usually a bit of a down time of year. Joanna is getting some contract work in phlebotomy, and more equipment is arriving all week. Gemma is enjoying learning to drive, and always looking for more opportunities to do so. Andrew has upgraded his wardrobe—looking good!
And that's about it for this week.
