World Cup Soccer Pool Update

GO BRAZIL

Here is a quick update of how I am doing in the my company's World Cup Soccer pool. Of 34 people that entered, I am in 29th place. And I thought I had the pool wrapped up. Well there is still time to pull off a win.

Here's the original post.

Polo For Heart

Another extremely busy weekend came to a close with Polo for Heart, a charity polo match in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. It is always really entertaining, with two polo games (a pretty fast paced sport, if you can follow it), and a great half time show. This year had skydivers, and superdogs. My daughter got an airbrush tatoo, and my son really enjoyed seeing the horses. And the best part is, it was all for charity.

Shakespeare in the Park

We live in a community that has an outdoor summer theatre, and have taken in the show every year since the theatre began. The theatre always offers a Shakespeare play, and (although I never liked Shakespeare in Highschool), I always find the live performances to be funny and well done. I could even understand what was going on without a plot description, so I guess I am getting more used to it.

Nim Os Kom Ton

We took the kids to a Pow-wow on the weekend. We try to expose them to as many different ideas and cultures as possible, and I think this was really interesting for them. We watched the First Nations dancers and drummers, and sat in a teepee. They told stories and tried to educate us on the beliefs and values. I really liked the outfits that they wore and enjoyed the dance. My daughter wanted to get up for the dance, but got a little shy when it was time to go up. The ceremonial fire was just starting when we had to leave for lunch.

School's Out

My daughter had her graduation party (from Nursey School) today. No, we did not rent a limo, or get her hair and nails done. It was fun for her though, and she got a diploma, and made a mortar board hat. She sang a special graduation song, and we were very proud.

Next year she will be in Kindergarten. Time sure flies.
