Summer Hols time but it's Old Skool Weekenders 28-30th July *
* with apologies to anyone in the southern hemisphere although I guess that for some of the hotter areas midwinter is also the best time to get outside.
Let me begin by saying I am feeling a lot better than I have been over the last couple of days which have been given over to regrets about all the years I wasted on alcohol and I would like to extend my thanks for all the support you have given me.
A big (YUGE!) bonus from quitting drinks/drugs is that you get your weekends back. As an adolescent and as a young man the weekend always seemed full of promise and potential along with the pleasure of not having all my time accounted for.
Of course as adults we now have duties and responsibilities that consume some of this time although in truth I personally do not have that many lol!
We still have time to pursue things that are of interest to us. So much better than the alcohol years which would find me at all points along the spectrum of hungover to blacked out between Friday evening and Monday morning and beyond. I have very few memories of any of those weekends and even fewer good ones.
I hope this will resonate with some of you as the countdown to this weekend begins. Have a grrreat weekend!

This weekend is the annual Winnipeg Beach 'Board Walk Days' celebration. We've been here every year with the kids for the past 20 years. Both my adult children still want to come out this weekend (I'll be heading back to the city on Friday to pick them up). This will probably be my first ever sober Board Walk Days weekend.

The original Kilogram, cast in 1889, is kept under lock and key in Paris might be replaced after 2020 as it has gained weight (a few micrograms). Cool object, it is made out of Platinum-Irridium.

I'm in for the weekend. My plans are to somehow finish my workweek in an acceptable fashion, then go to another state for family assistance/business. I will be over there all weekend and next week. I'd thought I would travel today, but work is NOT gliding in for a soft landing, and with this and that, I think I must stay put another day or two. Will go Saturday at latest.
Giving up is NOT an option.

I'm in!
Taking tomorrow off from work in order to see the big jam at the end of my son's Rock Band Camp, where he has been since Sunday. His dad (my ex) will meet us there (hour and a half north of here) and bring him back home, so that I can proceed further north to meet my friend at his cabin. Saturday we will mow the grass, do some other puttering, and possibly tube down the river, weather permitting. Should be a nice time. The cabin is my happy place, so I'm excited. I don't get to go up there that often.
