A great weekend

Well this weekend was a few things. As I stated before it was LeeAnns birthday, but luckily it was also the quarterly meeting of the Fiat Lux Lodge of Research in Edmonton. So, rather than sitting around thinking about it, I headed to Edmonton with a couple of the Brethren from Zetland. We also hooked up with my Dad in edmonton so basically I spent the day with him. Now that is pretty cool. I only see my father about 3-4 times per year. And I am not the, sit around the livingroom and make idle chit chat kind of guys. So it was nice to be in lodge, for five hours and just hang out. We probably spoke more on Saturday than in the past 4 years combined. SO whatevers ones thoughts are about masonry I site that as the answer to any criticism.

After Lodge we drove back to Calgary. Someone had spread the blasphemous rumour during the day about a snow storm, which had everyone paranoid. But the drive home was crystal clear. It was marked by interesting conversations between myself, Dan McNeil and Rob O'neal. It is nice to sit around with guys of such different perspectives and not feel self consious about what one says. Knowing that we can talk about even our deepest secrets and they will be held sacrosanct by a fellow mason.

Sunday was of course church. This week was family day at church so all the kids stayed for the sermon. You could Tell that Dyron changed things up this week to keep their attention. It was a little less "lecturish" and a little more "singingish" which was nice. But being who I am, I missed my weekly Lecture. On the note of the church I want to let everyone know that Campbell Stone has an updated web page. Dyrons sermons are available on it free of charge and in audio format. So for all of my friends who are hungover on sundays, or still partying on sunday morning. You can, if you want, listen to some intelligent, and thought provoking sermons any time you would like. Just click on CAMPBELL STONE in my Link column.

Hmm what else is new. Well the Oiler won again last night against Colorado, so that is a big win. Things look pretty good and I think the boys are going to make the playoffs which will make for some good nights in the coming months.
