Holy Crap, Rogers is slow tonight! "Slower than dial up I tell you!" Oh well, such is life. Hope everyone had a good Easter or long weekend or whatever. Andrea, who I work with, got married on Saturday so I am just glad that it didn't rain. The sun was a nice bonus. Mind you she's in Hawaii right now so she probably doesn't care.

I love this weather. It's so nice to be able to walk on bare sidewalk again, rather than trudge through slush etc.

Here's a word of advice to people out there with children and it comes from a story that was told to me about an Easter visit to a family in another city. For those of you who don't have children old enough for this to apply, apply it to yourself. Family comes to visit you, not babysit children while the parents take a break from them. The visits will occur far more often. Not everyone wants to hang out with nieces and nephews. Sometimes there's a reason that people are childless. nuf said.

Well, Rachel's plans are set. She leaves June 29th for St. Johns, Nfld. She has a place to stay, a room in a house for the first 2 months. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood and has a patio and a brook that runs through the back yard. I think I want to move there. In September, she moves into a bachelor apt and hopefully starts school, either College of the North Atlantic or Memorial University. Either way, radiography is the field of choice.

Joanna has an interview with Apple (the company, not Gweneths child) on Thursday. She had a phone interview yesterday and they said she was - get this- "delightful". Not a word that I would have expected but not really surprised. It's funny how enthusiastic you can be when it's pretty close to your dream job and anyone who knows Joanna knows that right after Rich, Apple comes first. Keep your fingers crossed. Joanna and Ryan are moving in with me for a while until plans are settled as far as where she is going to work. Right now she's at Best Buy on Wellington. If she gets the job, she may have to move to TO. The other option is a management position at a new Best Buy store that won't be opening til possibly summer. Either way, entering a lease at this time is not the smartest move, so in order to keep the options open this is the smartest and financially soundest idea. And having her and Ryan here will be a nice change. I don't see her all that often now with her work and my work and all. So for a while, it will be her and Rach together and that can prove to be entertaining to say the least. At least I'm used to it. Ryan may go running for the hills though.

Oh, by the way, the link on the left that says "links" goes to a photo page. If I ever figure it out, I will change it to say Photos.

About my favourite blogs....
KP, what happened to your blog? All of a sudden it's missing a lot of entries.
I never get a chance to thank you Mike for all the links. Yours is the one blog that I try to read on my lunch cause there's always something that I can discuss with other people at work and your subjects always make me sound intelligent. :)
Mr. Kuiack, I am not sure if you even read this, but if you do and you send me a message, I will send you some cinnamon buns.... Quite the bribe to find out if you're still alive wouldn't you say? I need to know your shift so that I know when to send them.
Leanne and Kristine, you guys know that I read yours cause I leave you comments. Leanne, I hope you're feeling better and that the morning (all day) sickness is over. I like your blog cause I never know what I am going to find there. It could be either a pregnancy diary or a sports rant but either one is entertaining.
Kristine, soon my dear, soon you will have the new job that you want and it will be better than anything you could have imagined. Until then, school.... It's your real passion anyway. A job at this point is just a way to pay the bills. Once you can find a job in the field you want, one will be there. Have faith.
Liz, quite simply, where the heck are you? no sound byte or anything.... and I put something special on my homepage for you.... make sure your speakers are on.

For now, I have to go... I will do the race thing tomorrow night. What is an arfadark anyway Rob?
