Another week, another bright sunshiny Friday. If only we could spread out all that June rain into little 2-5 am sprinkles that keep the flowers happy. Watching the pictures I think our friends in Colorado have found our flooding issues. Hopefully their community bands together as ours to support those affected.
I don't have any pictures downloaded but I realize that it has been ten years ago this weekend that many of us made the trek to Oostende Belgium for the Flanders Field Marathon. For Ally, Willie, Jon B, (and not-John), Shauneen, Carroll, Dori, Ken, Kim, Cathy (times two), Pam, Sylvia, Tony, Jim (8th overall that day!), and me it was a great trip. Now who am I missing from ten years ago???

| Flanders as I remember it at the All American Table Dance Bar... |
As last week my schedule is full of fun. Tomorrow is an all day planning session for the next Stampede Parade. Yep, it all starts now. No trot for me tomorrow but Tamara, Peter, Joy, and others have confirmed an 8 am departure from Eau Claire. Don't forget your passport for this really big trip!
 |
| Our next parade float from work? It's called the SWAGon. |
Sunday has four of us at work competing in the Calgary Corporate Challenge Bocce tournament. If you are a fan of bocce come and cheer us on starting at 9 am in Edworthy Park. If you are trotting that day pick the NW passage and give us a high-five on your way.

Congrats to our friend Kristin who is off to the World Championships of dragon boat racing after a strong performance in the over 55 (what???) mixed dragon team races in Victoria. Next year she will be off to Italy to represent us all. Hmm, does she need a bag-boy?
Speaking of World Champions, I hear that Ally is in London doing the same for triathlon. She literally was bouncing off the walls! Okay, if you are on Facebook you know what I mean but the good is she seems to be okay. She also is realizing that bikes and her riding them are a near-lethal combination. Can a duathlon be run-swim-run?

As a parent of a West Highland Terrier, I wonder how this will apply to me? For all you moms and dads out there who think their kid is the next Gretzky, or the next Dumonceaux. Thanks April!
