POST #100!!
Wow, I feel like I should be celebrating or something ... and for those of you who don't recognize sarcasm, that was it :)
Anyway, not quite a month since my last post is doing pretty good, I think. And happy birthday to my brother John (who likely doesn't read this, but whatever)! This is the last day of reading week here at the University of Victoria, which gave me a reason to take a few days off work and, after last weekend's ski trip (we spent Saturday at Manning Park - it was a gorgeous day and the conditions were perfect) I spent said time off visiting with Jim and Deb and Arlene up in Quesnel. I took the bus, and am glad I got to travel in the daytime because some of the scenery was fairly breathtaking. I wish I had had a camera (I didn't forget to take one; I actually don't have one) with me, but ah well, at least I can see what I'm talking about. So yeah, the visit was awesome and it was lovely to be taken in with such open arms - they were wonderful hosts! Oh, and I can't forget Toby Mac (of whom I'll get a picture up soon) and Molly, the coddled dog and long-suffering cat - it was great to spend some time with animals again.
So I spent the majority of my time in Quesnel helping out at the Salvation Army, doing some sorting and cleaning and such. It reminded me a lot of the way things tend to go in Wiarton, and it's obvious they've made a lot of progress and changes for the better in the time they've been there .. wow, all of a sudden this is feeling a lot like those 'local news' columns in the Wiarton Echo ... and that's not a good thing. I better stop.
