Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The first ships of the season have already come and gone; it was an early Spring for the seaway. The weather has continued to be beautiful, and we've enjoyed getting out for walks and bike rides. I have not managed to increase my old record of 3.5 km, but I will keep trying. I was back to the doctor this week, but that was just to get my Shingles vaccination. I've had that once, and didn't enjoy it. This decreases the likelihood of another outbreak, and the price was right! I have completed my teeth cleaning program. Markets have continued to be troubled; all US indices are in the red for the month, and TSX is under 1% green. We had jobs data that was surprisingly good, while US had surprisingly poor results, so that didn't help. Still, I didn't manage to make quota, so I'll have to work smarter next week! It has been a busy week in sports with the World Curling Championships, the opening of the Baseball season, and the Masters Golf tournament. Brad Gushue has represented us well, and is in the Gold Medal game tomorrow in curling against Sweden. The Jays have started the season poorly, winning only one game this week. There are a lot of prominent contenders at the Masters, so tomorrow should be exciting to watch. Jordan Spieth looks like the guy to beat at this point, but I'll be cheering for hard luck Sergio. College basketball ended on Monday with UNC winning it as I predicted. Sorry to see Gonzaga fall short, all the same. The NHL regular season ends this weekend, and the last playoff spot was determined tonight. Way to go Leafs!
The Baileys are on the way to Victoria this weekend. Eric's dad funeral is set for Tuesday, so it's an emotional trip. The picked up Liam at Caronport after school on Friday and headed west. We wish them a good trip, and a good family gathering.
Erin and Kristian have had a terrible, no good, very bad week on the health front. Kristian had a doctor's appointment, and was prescribed additional medications. It seems he is allergic to one of the medications, or to the combination. In any case, he is reacting with hives, and coughing. He was back to the doctor on Thursday who withdrew previous medications and added new ones! Erin was to the doctor early in the week as well to investigate her rapid heart beat. Then, she picked up the cold from Kristian and has been suffering all week. Kristian had bowling today, and bowled three fine games, each about 20 pins above his average—well done buddy!
Travis and Joanna had another busy week, and that's a good thing. They were all over here for supper on Wednesday evening. We enjoyed that. Joanna took Wendy for lunch and shopping on Thursday. This weekend, Joanna is off to Toronto to visit her folks. Gemma and Andrew continue to do well at school.
And that's about it for this week.
