After work last Thursday, Sofi and I drove the 45 mins. or so out to Buffalo Pound, where we met up with Brad. Brad managed to snag the last two electrical camping sites in the place, so it was fortunate we went out early. We set up our tents before dark and stayed up late by the fire drinking beer and waxing poetic about our camping skills.

The weekend was pretty much tremendous. On Friday pretty much everyone else who was coming showed up, and it was a scorcher. I can't recall the last time I've been outside for so long in what seemed like African temperatures. Thought I spent most of the day hung-over, day turned to night and life went on. Saturday was just as hot, but we went to the (disgusting) lake to cool off and try our hand at Ian's jet-ski. Even though that day ended on a sour note with the Rider loss, it was still a great weekend. We got our fair of thunderstorms, but it only rained at night and was otherwise good weather with few(!) mosquitoes and we had lots of shade. We even fit four tents and eight people in one of the sites. If you are ever in the area, I can recommend Shady Lane #1!

Camping at Buffalo Pound 2005

This week has been a busy one. I had an interview this week with a client downtown so if I get that job I will get to walk to work for the foreseeable future. With all the heat and humidity it's been rough going outside, but I've managed, even though I got caught in the rainstorm last night.

Doteasy had a promo offer for registering domain names a few weeks ago so I took the opportunity to register achsreunion.com, which I'm going to use to organize our high school reunion which is coming up in 2007. It looks like the plan is for Christine, Kylie, and I to organize it. I'm hoping I can write some cool website software for it and that more than just our class will be able to use it in the future.

This weekend I'm planning on laying low. I have a bunch of work work to do, thanks to ever-increasing job responsibilities at work (hey, Janson, five people in two provinces report to me on my current project, does that count as being a manager? It's as close as I'll ever get for the next 10 years!). I'm going to be leaving on Wednesday night next week for the big cabin party - I can't wait!
