Things are lovely. We spent time in Riondel with Bob, my birth dad and his family, and my sister Candy and her family - a pretty crazy time, but fun to be sure. I'm having a relaxing holiday, trying not to take on too much, though it's hard not to when I've been going full tilt at school for three months. I'm looking forward to January and starting the new semester. Bob bought a steer to butcher and split up for all the kids in his family ( he has four including me ). We now have a huge amount of frozen, organic, free-range, grain-finished beef in our freezer. Yum. I think I might get sick of beef this year, since I don't normally buy all that much of it... but maybe not. He wants to teach me to scuba dive this summer, and I want to learn. I think I'd also like to learn to shoot, maybe even hunt. I'd feel better about eating as much meat as I do if it were free range and I had to kill it myself. Might make me into a vegetarian, yet, though I doubt it. I'm surprisingly hard-hearted for an animal lover. :-/

Having trouble with my web browser, lately. It won't let me open internet sites that I frequent all the bloody time. mytelus.com, my very own blog, it's weird. Plus something is changing my home page all the time - though I hate to admit it, being that I should be geeky enough to A: avoid that sort of thing happening to me or B: be able to fix it if it does. Anti virus has done nothing. Somebody must have clicked "ok" to something that shouldn't have been clicked "ok" to. Hopefully it wasn't me. ;-) Maybe I'll just switch to netscape.. ;-) or Mozilla...

Anyway... off to watch a movie and then get some much needed sleep after last night's goings on. We slept in the Riondel fire hall last night. It was kinda cool. That's what comes from being related to the Fire Chief of Riondel. ;-)
