I guess that's the point. Governor of Alaska for two years? Unknown amongst most political insiders. Might just help out the Republicans in the USA! Not that I'm much of a political pundit! I forecasted the Canadian election for October 6, 2008. The senior political people are saying October 14th. Let's wait and see -- but I have this funny feeling!
Maybe it was the impromptu concert! Or maybe the realization the concert is just around the corner. Today I started a bit of a phoning thread. First one person. Then the next person called arose from serendipity thought related to the first person. And finally the afternoon ended with some unusual contacts having been made. All good! The concert is next Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 7:00 pm at the Kindersley Alliance Church. Rick Lett, with Michael and Andrea Lett, doing Jazz and Gospel. If you are around the area, drop in. You'll love it!!
One of the things that cable provides is a variety of international stations. During the Olympics we were able to watch US Olympians with close up views. The Canadian station brought us the Canuck perspective. Well, now we are into a new Olympics. And guess what!! Both nations are watching the Olympics of the Presidential race in America. In Canada we get partially live feeds of the DNC (Democratic National Convention). The US stations give us full live feeds. The Next Olympics are on. And here in Canada, we're left in the dust. Even a possible national election at this point seems to be overshadowed. Would we rather watch Obama and McCain, or Harper and Dion? In fact, the Canadian contestants don't even seem to have a ring to them! My guess for our election date? October 6, 2008. I'm just picking that out of the hat -- perhaps November would be a much better pick. How about somewhere around the same day I hear another country is thinking of polling their people?
Well, the day in Prince Albert went very quickly. From an informal jazz concert in the basement of Rick Lett's to a three hour tour and discussion of renovations at the New Life Indian Alliance Fellowship church, to a steak supper at our daughter's with a DQ chaser! (Sorry to those we missed seeing!!) This morning we awoke to threatening skies in Prince Albert. As the day progressed and we moved farther away, we heard the storms settled in. I trust all are well in that area of the country! Our way home included two hospital visits and 3 1/2 hours of driving. Glad to be home. May the rest of this evening be refreshing and rejuvenating!
