A little more memory lane stuff...

I was so busy working at my kitchen table on business related stuff that I almost forgot to post my blog tonight. It felt like I had forgot something. That's what happens when you get out of your normal routine. It's important to post my blog before the Daily Show, Jon Stewart's my favorite.

Tonight, my problem is that I don't know what to write about. This is my second day of no training and I'm looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow. Big time. If not, I'm going to become an unbalanced workaholic.

It dawned on me that I haven't written about how well my daughter Alyssa is doing at school. She had some medical problems and which set her school back a couple of years and last January was able to go back full time. Since then, she's been kicking ass.

Ontario schools are a lot tougher than Manitoba schools. They really push the kids to learn. Last year Alyssa averaged in the 90's in all her full time courses. All summer she was also dying to get back to school. This year she's back in the 90's and today found out she has a 90% average in math, when the class average is only 68%. Amazingly, she hasn't been in a math class for over two years. I'm really proud of her.

She's also joined DECA, which is like a young business person's club, where the students focus on creating business plans and they actually go to competitions and have to argue their plan against others. She's on fire right now. I can see it in her face, she's so full of "Piss and Vinegar" and confidence. It's nice to see things are back on track. She's now very focused on which University she's going to go to next year and what she should take. That's a tough decision, who knows what they are going to do with their life at a young age. I definitely didn't and don't know many who do.

I attached a picture of when she was probably 13 years old and we were living in Winnipeg. She had just finished her school year, she did well as usual, and I took her in the back yard and we had a bon-fire and I suggested we burn her school note books. It was a fun time.

Recovery & Rest
