To a different blogging system. We’ll see.
My blog was hacked last week, and hopefully this might help.

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.

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.

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.
