Weekend
Friday night I went out for pizza with Dave, which was really good. On the way into town, a semi had flipped over, which is nothing new. Except this one was loaded with crates of beer, so there was broken glass everywhere and the place smelled like a brewery.
Today I mostly hung around the house, reading, cleaning, etc. I went into town for a bit and tried to buy a Habs jersey, which seem to be all over the place right now—I’ve seen four in the last two weeks. On Friday I saw a red one and today I saw a white one. If I see the red one again, I’m going to buy it and cut the sleeves off. I figure that if you pay less than seven dollars for it, it’s not sacrilegious to alter it!
Tonight Joe was around. He’s the guy who lived in the house with us before Christmas, but since then he’s been working in another town. We went out for a beer and kebabs at a little spot near our house. Kebabs are awesome, and for about 60 cents for a sausage, the price is right. Alright, it’s now Sunday night. I think after four years, my computer is tired. It’s giving me problems with the disk drive, but hopefully if I use a new disk it’ll be alright. If you’re reading this, it worked.
Today was fine—I just went into town to meet with Dave and watch the gold medal game. Sweden was the better team and that goal to win it by Lidstrom was as perfect a shot as I’ve ever seen, so full credit to them. Too bad for Koivu and Finland, but at least Russia didn’t get a medal. As for the Olympics overall, it was a great performance by Canada. One medal short of the COC’s prediction (men’s hockey anyone?) but we did well. Especially our women. The men were pretty weak. Too bad no skiers got medals, but five top-fives is fantastic. Too bad Grandi couldn’t pull one off. I wish I could have seen more of it, but I’ll savour it even more in four years in Vancouver.
The people who introduced me to Dr. Addae (friends of family friends who I have never met) are in Ghana right now. They have donated a lot to RUCNET, themselves and their friends, and they are here to look at what we’ve done. They’re arriving in Kumasi tonight and we’re supposed to meet with them tomorrow and travel around with them, so that will be fun.
This is long enough—you don’t need any more of me, so that’s all she wrote for today.
Monday afternoon. Not much happening today, as there have been some mechanical problems with the water tanker that need addressing. Our American friends aren’t arriving here til later today. I bought a Habs jersey for 5 bucks. That’s it.
