A Dull Entry
Not too much to say today. Yesterday was a mix of being rough and easy with the boys. They managed to find stuff to do most of the day (of course I helped), and didn’t miss the camping too much. But, no matter how busy…

Back from Holidays
We are back from our holidays, and tomorrow we’ll be back into the regular grind. The camping trip was a smashing success, even though we got hit by a bit of rain. We ended up having an absolute blast with the swimming, hiking, and canoeing.
Camping
First off, I’ve made another executive decision concerning this blog… all entries will be time stamped with CST, no matter what time zone I’m in. For example, it’s actually 10:24 PM where I am, but this entry is marked as 9:24 PM. This was our…
Computers are Weird
Well, I’m not sure what happened to my systems. People in the neighbourhood say there were no power failures, and my clocks verify that. Damn weird stuff. I also lost a drive on my RAID 5, which was no big deal. I decided to put…
A sad loss…
I just learned of David Gemmel passing away on July 28th. A sad loss for all of us, he was a great story teller and writer. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/5224868.stm

Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer
Today was a nice slow holiday type of day. The boys got haircuts, I read my book, ate too much. Life is good. I also modified the CityDesk Blog template so that blog entries are time stamped, which allows multiple entries per day. Reading Blue…
The Flow of Time Changes on Holidays
Well, holidays are proving themselves to be tough on writing (and blogs)! Let’s see if I can quickly summarize what’s been going on… I drove into Saskatoon yesterday, for a quick visit with Ann and Pauline. It turns out that I managed to land on…
Drive, Drove, Druve?
Today we drove to P.A. to visit the in-laws. Nine hours of driving, and I was cooked. Gregor drove back to Calgary as well, so we convoyed for awhile. Reading Kushiel’s Avatar (Jacqueline Carey) Writing nope
Climb On!
This was Gregors last day in town, so we went rock climbing. We picked up Rob and Ev on the way, and ended up having an absolutely wonderful day. We started by eating lunch and having a couple of beers, then Gregor tried to lead…
