First of all, a lifelong friend of Mother's has passed away. Alvina Hillman died on Tuesday Jan. 4th. There will be no funeral service so we can't take Mother but she will be coming to our place for a couple of days. I talked to her on the phone and she feels upset by it all. All we can do is listen to her. It's too bad there is no funeral because it would be a chance for her to get her feelings out....funerals are for those left behind.
Blogs, blogs, blogs...looks like Lew Heuchert (Carolyn's brother) is blogging now. See it here . He's a bridge playing, marketing, hunter, work-a-holic from Saskatoon who loves to party! Apart from Gary, no one else has blogged......I guess nephew Mike hasn't had a coffee break since Sept. 2nd/04!! Anyhow I hope all is well. Margot is busy orking and taking care of Joel who had pneumonia last week (he's a lot better now). I am sure that Lyn & Noni & David & brother Jack are are working away. Oh, Helen Kirkwood did blog...see it here. Our thoughts are still with her and her brother.
We are both fine here and are looking forward to a good year. Catherine is teaching today (the first time this year). I was out to the Air Museum three days this week. Catherine and I are giving a talk Saturday at the Humanist Assoc. of Manitoba on creationist's attempt to legitimize the biblical creation theory by calling it "intelligent design". Their main claim is that there are different species, yes but the species do not mix...to prove this they say (bold as brass) that there are no examples of animals that connect the species... the interspecies hybrids, if you will. But lo and behold there are at least 21 examples that scientists have discovered. Gosh, it was just in the news that scientists in Europe have cracked the chicken genome and by doing so have discovered that 310 million years ago chickens and humans had a common ancestor. See this site. Anyhow....Darwin rules! I will be lifting a toast to Darwin and the proven, scientific theory of evolution on Feb 12th., his birthday. Join me.
I (with Catherine's help) will be putting out the Humanist of Man. newsletter. Our acronym is HAM, so Catherine was thinking of renaming it "Ham-Bones" Its now called "News and Things"....egads!...anything is better.
Well better go, as soon as Catherine gets home we will be taking off to the gym.
Later....keep blogging.
