August Long

No pics yet, but we had another successful camping trip over the weekend. Twin Lakes, the chosen destination for this trip. It's only about an hour away. We took Brayden with us this time. He's Dev's youngest brother. He had never been camping in a tent before, so it was quite fun. I hope he had a good time.


The weather was ok. Some sun, some rain, some wind and cloud. Typical Alberta summers. For the very beginning of August, it was damn cold on Friday night.


And now it's a few days of work in between another weekend party. Folk Festival this weekend. Sarah, I wish you and Al were here. It doesn't feel quite the same after last summer. I'd sure love to go meet Al in the beer gardens..... oh well, I'll have to entertain myself with some music this year. No Patties either, so it will certainly feel different.


But mom, Unc and Hal will be here, along with other usual suspects like Car, Ry, Jeff, Dan. It'll be lots of fun.



I was thinking about a post my uncle put up (you can find the link on my page) about Obama. I try to listen to conversations around me when I am sorting mail - I guess it's the right-wing radio show producer rearing it's head again - but it's neat to hear what others are talking about. Obama comes up a lot. (So does the beheading on the Greyhound bus) and I wondered if we Canadians can really get a feel for the buzz (or lack thereof)

So yeah, I bought my first GQ magazine, and I wasn't too thrilled. Unless you want to look at Tom Brady's girlfriend in her underwear, there's really nothing else. The most interesting part was a quick Cole's notes version of Where to get your political news. The tv stuff like CNN, FOX and MSNBC. But also a number of interesting websites. I don't think there are too many people who don't turn to the Internet first. Oh well.
Before this gets any more random, I will go make supper rather than sitting here any longer.
