you know what I did this summer. at least you will when you read this.

After a rockin' 3-month summer break, Roomie returned to work last Monday to have the pleasure of listening to the sound of his own voice and get paid for it teach a new crop of future engineering techs the fine art of physics, electronics, and mathematics.

That was when summer officially ended for us. Even though the kids didn't start school until a week later. Truly. When your son asks for "more apple juice please" and you can't say "your Dad's in the kitchen and can get it for you, sweetie" because he isn't in the kitchen but in a room across town jumping onto tables to demonstrate potential and kinetic energy so you yourself have to get up from under your blanket, put down your laptop, and move your green tea to get said juice for your thirsty boy, it hits you like a sledgehammer that the carefree times are really over. Sad.

But I shouldn't complain. We had a great summer! We accomplished a lot, saw a lot, ate a lot... like...


  • Celebrating birthdays
  • Camping


  • Learn how to ride a bike without the training wheels!!! Woo-hoo!!!
  • Meeting up with out-of-town family and friends...

  • Play games on Daddy's C64
  • Visiting the Manitoba Museum...

  • Yeah... a good summer... :)
