Summer Vacation

Just got back from our summer vacation out west: Calgary and Winnipeg. Nice to see family but what a whirlwind! I managed to read The Rule of Four in 4 days (is that part of the rule?) The pacing and puzzle is similar to The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Rich is now reading Angels and Demons. (I get it next.)

Saw Wedding Crashers in Toronto before we left - lots of fun. My Uncles tell me they used to crash all kinds of weddings in Winnipeg. Who knew?

My brother Stephen is a star dancer at the Ukrainian-Kyiv pavilion at Folklorama, Winnipeg's annual cultural festival. Too bad we missed him perform because we had a plane to catch. My brothers, Richard and I hit a few pavilions ourselves on Saturday night including the Celtic Ireland Pavilion. It had been almost 20 years since I was singing along to the Unicorn song with an Irish Rover (first time at Expo '86 in Vancouver.)

Looks like there are a lot of reunions to plan/attend in 2006: 20 years since Expo, 25 years since SJR, and an ADPi 75th Anniversary coming up fast this September. Anna and Shelley - I'll go if you go... We'll see in a month.

Next movie I plan to rent is Kung Fu Hustle. The trailer looks awesome! Ivana will be sorry she dissed it!
