August in Calgary

Well, I got the dryer working again with a new thermostat. The bathtub has been re-caulked and is no longer leaking, so now I have to re-do the ceiling to hid the ugly water stain. The car has a new muffler and is working fine. The dishwasher is toast, but I'm now used to doing dishes the old fashioned way. Since my last blog entry, I went to a Stagette, and to Yuk Yuk's with friends one night. The girls and I went to see RV at the movie theatre after brunch at Stage West on the 13th - both lots of laughs. I've always enjoyed comedy in all its forms.

I've cancelled my trip to Newfoundland in September, mostly because of things going on at the office. I've decided to spend the holidays with family in New Brunswick, which I haven't done for so long that I can't remember the year. Looking forward to sitting around the table with family for Christmas dinner, eating Mom's meat pies for breakfast, and visiting with everyone.

My Progress Club is hosting it's annual huge garage sale, which will be hosted by a member in Ranchlands this year. I'll help set up on Friday night, and spend Saturday there with the girls. It's always a fun day. I will try to restrain myself and not come back with a carload of stuff I don't need. I need to organize the stuff I want to donate, and I need to be totally ruthless and do some serious downsizing of all the clutter in my place.

I'm on the road again starting Sunday evening when I drive to Medicine Hat, do business in the morning there and drive back in the afternoon, back in Calgary office Tuesday morning, leave for Lethbridge in the afternoon for site visits and a board meeting that evening. Return from Lethbridge Wednesday morning just in time to attend a seminar being given in our boardroom that afternoon. Thursday afternoon I have my follow-up appointment at the Sleep Clinic. I'm eager to discuss what they learned from that machine I was hooked up to three weeks ago.
