Here's something fun.

I haven't posting anything in a while because I've been busy with reading and writing, as well as because I didn't have e-mail access at home for several days. My old hard drive was about to give up the ghost, so to speak, so I decided to get a new tower (at OTV because David and Cathy Anderson recommended it). I now have Windows XP instead of Windows ME (which my old computer from Computer Trends came with), which should be an improvement. My system is definitely running much faster.

I'm on holidays now, except for teaching my one-day workshop on July 15 at the U. of S. about teaching grammar to ESL students. I go back to teaching at the Saskatoon Open Door Society on August 8. On July 16 David and I will go a gathering of my family in Regina. We'll probably go (by car) to Calgary on July 23 to visit friends for a few days. He'll continue on from there to Vancouver, but I'll head back to S'toon by bus because I want to focus on writing during my holiday.

That's all for now! Take care.
