Random thoughts on Monday Morning

Well it's one week to Election Day in Canada ... and it's really heating up ... I'm thinking it's going to be another minority government. The pols are showing the Tories up 8% nationally in polls but that all depends on who shows up on Eday and the breakdown in the ridings.

I came across a really cool sight http://www.electionprediction.org/2005_fed/index.html that shows predictions for each riding. Interesting ... the site was 87% correct last time.

I got out for another good run on the weekend. Another 12K ... and I timed the last 6K again and was 1:12 faster than the week before and ended up with a 6:27 pace per K on the last 6. Nice! This weekend it'll be 14K ... getting up there in prep for ATB and the Chilly 1/2 in March.

I've been listening to Discover the Word and they're doing a series on Marriage based on Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. " It's really interesting ... lots of good practical advise and teaching that's based on life TODAY. Today's session was about sex and the importance of sex in marriage. Michael would totally agree with the approach they are taking. Really quite cool..
