Cause Sherry and Melle did it too...

Yup, same result every time.

What does that say about me? I guess just follow my lead. ;)

Life's a Beach

Yup, still waiting on numbers (see previous post) so thought I would do the vacation update with Mom.

Every year my Mom and I spend a week together at the cottage. (See picture to the left.) She grew up spending summers there. And for me growing up, every July my Mom would bring me and my sis up for a girls' week at the cottage to spend with my cousins and aunts. Oh the memories...

Anyway, we're *ahem* older now. Girls' week now includes kiddies of my sis and cousins. I don't have any (kids that being) so I usually jump on the last weekend of 'the week' to see everyone before the week with my Mom begins.

Only got to see Aunt Sheila and Mel's kids. I guess I arrived too late. Anyway, come Monday morning my Mom and I were on a tight schedule.

The agenda included painting (the cottage, not the artistic kind), biking every day, reading (four maybe five books each), golfing, garage sale-ing, dollar store hunting and, of course, beach time.

The weather wasn't great. Very windy and not as hot as I would like it. But apparently perfect for kiteboarding.

See picture to the left. This was taken from 'the dunes' where we normally hang out. That is clearly not me on the kiteboard. (How could I have taken the picture elsewise??) I think those people are crazy. Sure... strap a board to your feet, attach a kite and ride the waves. Sounds safe enough to me. Until the wind picks you up and drops you off in the water a good 40 feet away!!!!! No thanks.

Anyway, the wind did die down one night and we were able to get a walk in on the beach. Here's my mom, me and a classic pic of 'take the camera out in front of you to get a snapshot of the two you.' Classic. Can't wait to do it all again next year.

Waiting for Numbers...

It's a beautiful day, yet I'm stuck inside. Crunching numbers. Yuck.

Meanwhile LB has gone up to the Collingwood Elvis Festival leaving me to wallow in my own misery.

Oh woe is me. :(

Le Tour! Le Tour!

The Tour de France starts tomorrow. That means my morning will kick off with a champagne breakfast followed by several hours in front of the TV watching the Prologue.

There is no major favourite to win this year. Operation Puerto in 2006, Floyd Landis’ suspension, and a myriad of other doping confessions and scandals over the past few months has somewhat shrunken the pool of big name athletes. LB asked me why I would even bother watching.

But with no major favourite in a sport that is highly political means that many, many, many cyclists are going to be hungry to win. And THAT could make for a very interesting race indeed.

Besides I have a favourite – Christophe Moreau of AG2R. I would just love to see a Frenchman win it.
