January 25

Hmm. One month from my 44th birthday. Could be my half way point...I'd be glad to make it to 88. 7 days till the beginning of February. Dad pointed out last week that February this year is the only month that begins and ends with the same day, Friday. Plus it's a leap year! It also is the month for the Festival De Voyageur, the new provincial holiday "Louis Riel Day" - Feb 18th, which coincides with Dad's Birthday, right in the heart of the Festival.

Things should be starting to hum along down at 416 Des Meurons by then, Rachel will have been out here a few weeks upping the art factor hugely, the studio jam space will be further along, probably with some rough recorded material already, perhaps some performance pieces ready to share, some cafe seating, library / meditation space. I don't know if we'll have the "mondo-chord" built by then, or the harps but you never know...hmm "mondo-chord" that just came to me and warrants another post altogether.

But before all that we are heading out to Alberta for Luke's Wrestling tournament and to bring Rachel home. It's gonna be a quick visit. David Issac is coming with us to help with the drive home and Debbie Luke and Rachel will be flying back.

looking so forward to the next month
