Life of The Land

The end is extremely ... nigh!

With just some marking and submitting of final grades left to complete, Judith's life as a sessional professor is drawing to a close. It's been a wonderful experience, full of hard work and, in the end, triumph over what at times seemed like insurmountable obstacles.

We are still coming down from the high that was the Other Brothers CD release show - what an inspiring night. Inspiring enough that I signed up to drive out to Winkler on Monday night after work to play back-up on a few songs at their Winkler release. And that was a great time also.

And finally, I started training today in the fine art of operating a truck and trailer. By this time next week, if all goes according to plan, I will be allowed to drive commercial vehicles and trucks with a gross vehicle weight of... lots. I did jump a curb early on in my first trip, to which my mentor (in more ways than trailer pulling) responded, "well, now you've failed the test." It turns out that there is a bit of learning required before the test.

That's all for now.
S.
