Since I have been not entirely committed to writing (you know, writing by hand, the 'old fashioned way') anything as of late, I have given in to blogging. Here's a blog. If you'd like writing, ask for a letter. Who writes letters these days?

Nearly Done, Nearly Packed, Nearly Home

That's about it.
Heading back to BC on the 30th -- no more Calgary for a long time!

It's really great to be done.
As of now, I am waiting for my wife to get out of her very last exam. She has her last exam on the last possible time slot for them! Crazy.

Well, now she's done. WHEW!

Anywho, no more slow school computers! Yay!
Although ours is getting slow... we've been putting it through a lot of paper writing lately.
It's unhappy.

Well that's done - I'm outta here

Just a quick thought . . .

A friend was talking about doughnuts.

I wonder why they call it a DOUGHnut?
It doesn't really resemble a nut.
Maybe it's a specific kind of nut... that grows on Dough-trees.
Maybe that's where the name Doughtry came from.
Are they the ones who make doughnuts? Doughnut mongers? Dough-tree harvesters?
Why else would you name someone Doughtry?
Are the people named Doughtry doomed to be associated with weight gain?
I don't know any Doughtrys so I assume if they are connected somehow with doughnuts then they'd either have really good metabolisms or be really large.

OK, OK, I know doughnuts (like monies) do not grow on trees.
But it's a fun thought.
Kind of like how you hope you can get a root beer tree by pouring some root beer in a hole in the ground.
I once managed to grow an apple tree in my parent's garden after throwing out an apple core.
They didn't know how it got there, but there it was - I think they still have it too.

Anywho, back to work . . .
