Well and that's close to being done. Last final written, finish the last essay tomorrow. Start work at the lake on Monday, and Oblong Country will go on hiatus...unless I find a decent internet connection up there....
Started my summer 'get fit' program today. Hour long mountain bike by the river in Saskatoon. Above, a distant pelican by the weir. Below, a close up of said beast.
Out of shape for the biking, holee-shit. During my high school years I used to power through the trails north of Prince Albert--today I was sucking wind...but a nice day for a ride, nevertheless. Sunny and windy. Geese ducks pelicans mud sand aching thighs.
Chelsea FC beat Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final. Miracles do happen.
I'm feeling unprepared and scatter-brained. Four days from now and I'll be back at 7:30-4, Mon. to Fri.
Listening to Messages by Frost. I've alluded to the idea of a plan before. The plan is...baby steps. Incremental change.
Better blog posts...you know, something beyond the usual post-midnight rant.
Can't wait for everything to green up. Right now the world is brown and dusty.
Anyway, I'm envisaging myself in my trailer at the lake, sweating over long-hand blog posts that will be transcribed to the interwebs at a later date, after many tearful editing sessions.
That's the plan, anyway.
The cranes of Saskatoon. Toon-town boom town. Saskatchewan a 'have' province. We don't want your equalization payments! In my life time we've gone from humble prairie back-water to natural resource mecca. Summer is coming--you know how I know that there's money kicking around this place? When the weather gets warm, the streets are purring with Porches, convertible Mercedes, sleek BMWs, etc...the summer cars are out...and when I was eighteen that shit was scarce. Not anymore apparently...thank you oil, thank you potash, thank you rare metals....
Ah well, I'm going to be in Waskesiu for the next four months...I can't wait to be honest.
