So it looks like I will be moving back to Vancouver in December. I have been allowed to teach on the sub list here in Calgary but I have such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't want to stay. I'll use my BC teachers signing bonus to move.
December works well because I can work a bit here & then move during...

hvac is steel and tin ductwork, airconditioning, furnaces, stuff like that. Very in demand these days. actually all the trades are hugely understaffed, as old guys retire and the younger generation actually bought into that lie about how important a university education was going to be in the future. Because of course, once tons of people had one, it ceased to be valuable.

I realize I've been a bad SG Friend lately. I despise when life and career doesn't leave time for the people that really matter.
The Garlic turned into a fabulous Butternut Squash, Grilled Portabella Mushroom Lasagna which I made for a friends Birthday
I hope things work out for you

I was placed at a segregated special ed school. I have never seen a segregated school. I thought they no longer existed & were a civil rights violation....

That's absolutely ridiculous!
I think that's proof positive right there that you are better off not working for such a horrible employer.

The best thing to do when you move is to SELL EVERYTHING...and start anew. If you don't you will pay for things like this. Really, uprooting ones life should be done in a Bhuddist sort of way....Scortched earth policy rules.
I've just moved to Calgary.
I'm having some difficulty with my movers. They brought my stuff out here in July & put it into storage. I'm now in my new place & want my stuff. The moving company was supposed to deliver yesterday afternoon but they did not show up. They not returning my calls.
This is a weird situation. I've never heard of this...

I didn't go on the roller coaster at NYNY. It looked cool but I couldn't believe how much they were charging for it! The funniest thing about that casino though, is everytime I've been there it honestly is full of New Yorkers. Like they went all the way to Las vegas...to go to New York.
I've been dying for frozen custard, but no one around here sells it. I guess Gelatto would do.....

Gulp! Easy knit patterns for babies.....err no I draw a blank there, I've done a few bits and bobs but all from published patterns, I tend to do baby size now if it's technical like Kate Gilbert's Samantha sweater dress etc.
Perhaps try one of the links pages on the Net? Sorrt I can't be more helpful on this occasion

You have a good list too!
I bought some really pretty hand-dyed yarn for mittens. I had it in my head I wanted matching mittens, scarf and hat. Which seems way ridiculous and over the top, but I don't care. The color is black with bits of burgundy mixed in. And I found a skein of Manos Del Uruguay in the same burgundy for the hat. Too bad its been way to hot to even handle my wool yarns, yet alone knit with them!
I want cold...right now!
Are you doing any patterning on your pair?

Oh no I absolutely 
detest mosquitoes. One Summer's evening I had to stay in an old Victorian hotel room with a very high ceiling in Richmond when they visited me - about 60 of the b*stards. I got not one wink of sleep and even tried sleeping in the bathtub. I squished them all in the end

My life? Cabaret continues unabated til at least the 16th ( Then it's on to film hopefully - maybe I'll break with my desire to meet someone nice before going on a real vacation - and go on a vacation. )
Dating still sucks....

Just a quick note - I am now "officially" going to be in Vancouver from the 16th to the 19th. I think I'm staying in Burnaby one (or two) of those nights, but I'm not sure yet. The point is, I'll be in touch soon, and we'll hash out plans.
Take care. See 'ya soon.

I spent my long weekend in Las Vegas!
I went to the Viva Las Vegas rockabilly weekender at the Gold Coast, rode the roller coaster at New York New York, played lots of keno & slots, shopped, drank too much beer, stayed up too late & thoroughly enjoyed it!
It was also so fantastic to have 4 days of warm sunshine!!

Thanks!

Well, if you're going to be there, do you want to try "Take 2" on our plans to hang out one day? I'm going to Vancouver and Victoria in mid-June and it'd be nice to get the chance to (finally) grab a gellato, or something, with you. Vancouver is just part of the whirl-wind craziness that is summer, 2006 for me.
I hope it was a great one!
