Holy Jumpin' Rabbits!
It's summer again and here I am!




Actually not here:




But here:



In a year:

  • Li'l J has learned to walk and talk (we always communicated with signals and ESP but he seems to rely more on the spoken word now. sellout.)
  • B-dis has her store up and running and leading the revival of downtown PG
  • B-don is Senior Associate and has the ear of the PM (so they say)
  • M-got has gone back to paving the way for the new recruits
  • More good friends have retired
  • I got an MRI in my Slip-n-fall case that says I have the knee of a 75 year old man. Man, I hope he doesn't want it back soon. I'm going to need it for a while yet.
  • The Cos is getting hitched.

  • Send me your thoughts over the past year

    Finally -
    the pros and cons on Day One of Part Two:

pros:

  1. The room is painted
  2. I got dropped off so I don't have to park the car
  3. I had great company all the way here
  4. Only one more semester to go
  5. No TV
cons:

  1. It is essentially the same room as last year with a new BO smell
  2. No car ("I know a place where no cars go...") Us kids know.
  3. My company left me alone
  4. Another semester left to go
  5. no TV

The beach at Cadboro was beautiful - as usual.
About two dozen sailboats tacking in the wind. Four chain smoking Granville Island Can drinking 22-25 year olds lurking and ogling three 30ish women in swim suits until the women left. the boys did soon after, but they did at least pick up their cans and put them in the trash. Victoria layabouts are greener than most.
Two seagulls wandering the beach yelling like hell at nobody.
Cell phone works.
Internet works - obviously.
How about Arcade Fire:
"No Cars Go"

it is Raining and it is not Victoria.
I intended to keep this up but man is it a busy life back on the mainland!
Nobody reads blogs anyway - except, of course, a few devoted and dearest friends....

Labour Day is officially the end of summer for anyone connected to the Ed Biz.
(For everybody else it is the last day of Big Brother on TV. How can we keep both Erika nad Janelle on the set for a few more weeks?)
So here we all are readying for the big day.
School opens in twelve hours and we are never ready, truly ready, are we?

"WE don't need no ED-ucation..."
A little Floyd to cap the summer?
