The A/C is broken in my part of the building and I’m melting. it’s in the 80’s in my office right now. Ack. I also finished writing my Best Man speech for my friend’s wedding. I won’t post it until later, but if you’re interested, let me know and I’ll show it to you.

Also, our church had it’s final day yesterday. It was sad, and hot.

A Salute.

My sister Trish is an RCMP officer – has been since a few weeks before the Mayerthorpe Incident that happened last year. Several weeks ago, a different incident claimed the lives of two other RCMP officers near Spiritwood, Saskatchewan. I found out yesterday that my sister and her fiance are being transferred to Spiritwood to replace them. I don’t know what I feel about this – certainly concern, worry and heavy emotion. I suppose that intellectually I knew that there’s a chance that as a cop she could be injured or killed in the line of duty – but this somehow makes it more real. Anyways, prayers and thoughts and good vibes are always appreciated.

Childhood rememberances.

I’ll admit that I’ve had a *bit* too much rum this evening, and that’s probably why I’m thinking of these things.

I have a very vivid memory of when I was around 10 or 11 years old – I was living in Tillsonburg, Ontario, and I loved spending time in the library. I spent most of the summer between 5th and 6th Grade reading. The things I remember most were reading basically the whole Hardy Boys series (after a friend of the family bought me the 2nd book in the series, I was hooked – Thanks Miriam ) ) and also most of the Tom Swift Jr Series – I remember thinking that the concept of Spaceship X was amazing. Travelling across the stars and meeting aliens was an amazing thought when you’re 10 or 11 years old – as well as solving mysteries…. the only two others books that I distinctly remember was a book about different kinds of racing cars – and one called The Frog, or The Toad that had very darkly tinted windows, and an explanation about how the tinted windows working, and a book about different movie monsters, like Frankenstein and The Blob, and old movies about them.

Ahh, good times.
