Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has turned colder, but we're still seeing daytime highs above freezing some of the time! We have no snow, which at the end of November is very welcome, but we realize we're on borrowed time in that regard. Wendy had some major medical testing this week. Tuesday is was the Holter test on her heart; Wednesday involved multiple pulmonary (lung) capacity and function tests. They are still trying to determine the causes of her coughing/congestion issues which are now running to six months, and causing us much concern. We continue with our community choir practices each Thursday as we prepare for our concerts on December 10th and 17th. Wendy had a choral event this week with her Sweet Adelines, and she has more events in December. The markets were thinly traded this week as the USA indices were closed over the last two days. However, they remained green as November is now looking to be the greenest month of the year, so far! Now, we hope, this is just the start of the Santa Claus rally to end the year well. In the world of sports, I had my greatest triumph of the year as my pick of the Bombers for the Grey Cup ensured their loss despite them being the prohibitive favourite! Otherwise, my Oilers continue their dismal season despite a big win last night over Washington. The Leafs and Pens continue in mediocrity, but both are doing better than the Oilers! Anyway, they played each other tonight, so one of them had to win—it was the Pens 3-2 over the Leafs. #1-KU lost in basketball, but came back the next day with a solid win. Still, they will drop in the rankings. Rock Chalk boys! #13-Sooners and #7-Longhorns, both demolished their opponents this week in college football.
Erica writes, "Big news of the week: Eric got a new iPhone 14 Pro! It’s very fancy with an extra special camera which we will have to use on our trip. This morning, our MNP office served free hot chocolate at the Santa Claus parade. It snowed just during the parade and then stopped—Perfect! Eric has had a full week with the sleep apnea machine and his sleep scores are looking a lot better. The down side is that with better rest he gets more snarky! That’s about it for this week."
Kristian began the official curling season this week, winning 5-2 over Riffel in a well-played game. He played second. I played front end all of my competitive career–I always loved the sweeping, and it's my point of emphasis with Kristian this season. Erin continues the push to train her replacement, and enjoyed a social gathering/house warming with her, as they have bought a place in Harbour Landing. Kristian continues to enjoy his Machining Class boot camp each Friday.
PuckShots continues through the busy season of photo-shoots and photo development. I think 11 teams in one day is the current record for this season! Wowsers! Joanna keeps up her regular work, and also works the photoshoots and and photo package developments and customer service. Plus this week, she's been preparing for Trav's birthday celebration coming up tomorrow evening.
And thats about enough for this week!
