Raucous, fun discussion and dinner last night with artists, librarian, musician friends, who generously delivered me to the “stacks” in their basement to choose some books to adopt. Ha! I am feasting upon a book with a section about the miners strike in 1934 in Flin Flon and women’s role. Nabbed a few other odd 80’s BC books including a part II of a book called Portage.

Thrilled to discover another  acquaintance I ran into in a caff has both of Juan Butler’s other books that I have been hunting for and very determined to read!

Recently (and at said above gathering) we encountered Wii Rockband. So much fun! I played some other sports games like football that was so unbelievably difficult I am certain going to medical school would be less taxing than try to get these mini fellas to stop running off the pitch. It tumbled me into a state of dizziness after 7 mins to a cacophony of small male groaning as I could not manage to keep my players on the pitch. Then out of nowhere, I don’t know what I pushed or how but I scored a goal! That turned small male groaning to small male astonishment a bit of … bloody hell what just happened.  Unfortunately an experience I could not repeat. But so much fun. Too much fun. Waving things in the air, whacking drumsticks and punk rock singing impressions. I could be v tempted by it.
