Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground
with sticks, it was called witchcraft..
Today, it's called golf

Congratulations to my niece's daughter Chelsea for winning the "Spirit of Spenser" award for being the 'best-in-school' at her middle school. We wish her well in high school!
Another gloomy day, chilly too! Swine weather. Its official...this spring was the third coldest on record for Winnipeg. I know that the only good weather in Canada right now is in BC, so it will be nice to go there if only for a vacation. They say that the weather should break soon and it will be hot and dry for the remainder of the summer. Lets hope so. Anyhow, thanks to MS 'Streets and Trips' I've got my route all planned and all the hotels reserved for the trip out west. We will be in Vancouver at approximately 2:57PM (give or take 5 minutes) according to my 'optimised' route. I only hope that there are suffcient Tim Horton restaurants so we can replenish our need for sustenance along the way!
This afternoon I am off to the WCAM. Afterwards we have a 'Retirement dinner' to attend for Diana Fabas-Pirie. She and Doug have been friends of ours for years. Diana has been a princpal for the last 20 years or so and at 55 decided that it was enough. Doug is 64, retired about 10 years ago and has had two heart attacks and some bypass surgery so Diana wants to spend some quality time with him for a change. They have just sold their house and moved into a large 1200 sq.ft., 2 bath apartment. I hope they like it. I know that I would...I hate cutting grass, shovelling snow etc.
We have a mew mayor in Winnipeg. It is Sam Katz, the owner of the local baseball team (The Goldeyes) and all-round charming fella. He is well liked and I hope he does well.
Well, better go and have a bite to eat before I have to leave for the museum. TATA...keep on blogging...if Jamie can do it...
