Wedding Photos!

In September my dear friend Patti got married. In her honour myself and three friends from the Ministry of Labour who also worked with Patti wore shalwars. (When we worked with Patti she had a shalwar and declared on Friday to be "Shalwar Day" so we all wore shalwars to work!).

It was a lovely wedding ... here are some pics from the wedding.

Latest Update

Well since I posted last lots has happened ... I started back to school (doing my Masters of Education at Brock ... did I mention that?) and handed in my first paper last night ... we'll see how it goes. It's been fun going to class and doing the readings ... no sweat ... in fact I have quite a bit of prior knowledge which is good.

2nd ... I ran the Toronto Waterfront 1/2 Marathon ... and I really didn't think I was "trained" enough. So I thought i'd just go out and do an easy R5/W1 for the whole thing. Then when I got up that morning there was a wind (not a breeze) of 37K gusting to 52K/hr ... NICE! Anyway ... I managed to pull off a 2:21 and felt pretty darn good. Here's a pic from the race. I can't find my finish photo.

3rd ... my beloved Tiger Cats are now completely without playoff hope. The game last Sat was bad ... but despite the incessant rain we lasted until 5 mins to go in the game. Die-hards I tell you! In fact ... the last game is Oct 15 and then we're considering going to the McMaster Marauders last home game the weekend after. I can't believe I actually LIKE football. WEIRD!!!!!!

Well ... all for how ... ciao!
