A New Year












It's a new year. The arbitrary time when as western culture, we turn our numbers over. My only real new years resolution is to write something in my blogs every Tuesday morning. What's the point of this thing if I never write anything down.
That said, a lot has happened since October. Hovan and Laurie came to visit. Good times, Hovan and I were able to do a lot of very important things, mainly involving mass media. He was also here for the first snowfall, which quickly faded. That mild November weather seems a long way away now.
We were also able to get our tree up and trimmed with Laurie, our first one in Edmonton.
I went on two trips with my dad to pick up machinery he left in Armstrong. Everyone should do some trucking now and then, it's fun. You get to see the country, wildlife, and watch lots of TV via a laptop. Just make sure the driver does not get distracted and wander off the road. Luckily that never happened, but we did see three fairly serious accidents on the second trip.
Most recently there was our mid winter celebration of Christ's Mass. A time to spend with family, good friends, and eat a lot of food. We should change the name to Gluttenymas.
That's a quick streamlined up-date of the last two months.
Next post, Tuesday Jan 13:)
Cheers,
Scott

'Gluttenymas' - funny. Very fitting, considering all the over-indulgence this time of year, and the massive amounts of money spent on food, for people who probably ate at home, in case the buffet at the company party wasn't to their particular taste.
