I’ll be travelling for the next few weeks and, as a consequence, communication to and fro may be intermittent. If you need to reach me, the best way is by phone at 604-788-1502. I’m uncertain if I’ll have an Internet connection at our place on Lake of the Woods, so emails may take 4 or 5 days to find me.
Travel dates: I’m leaving this Friday, July 28, and will be returning to the offices full time on Monday, August 14. Roughly 2 weeks of away time, back just in time to move in to the new Work Industries offices.
So what will I be doing?
- Spectating at the Kenora Multisport triathlon. I planned on participating but then I injured my knee. I can still swim if anyone wants a swimmer for a relay team.
- Attending my grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversay events, one in Winnipeg, one in Kenora.
- Fishing.
- Summer reading.
- Not swatting mosquitos, apparently.
