March 30th. Junowned.

I am headed to Saskatoon today to partake in the Junos on Sunday evening. 10 hours there, 10 hours back. It'll be a good, long trip. I am staying at one of the crew's houses.

March 26th. Spring Break and an Early Easter Bunny.

It is Spring Break here in Manitoba. And it actually looks like Spring outside. I have not seen this much ground in many many months. I could see it snowing again soon, but it is nice to see it leave for a little while.

The Beach Party we attended was great. Live parrots, steel drum music, salsa dancing, and a swimsuit show in which we all got to play fashion model and walk down the runway in new swimsuits.

This week is giving me quite a bit of time away from the Project. I am off for two whole days! and this coming weekend is sending us to Saskatoon for the Junos - plus a bunch of other activities. Wanuskewin, the Mendel Art Gallery, and some family focused fun are all on the plate. I am not looking forward to the 20 hours of driving it might take to get home and back, but you have to pay somehow.

The Easter Bunny has come a little early, but he is not doing so well. Have some fun with Save the Bunny.

March 20th. Donations.

Back from the Manipogo festival. Not a bad little time out in St. Laurent. Ice fishing, Bombardier tours out on the ice, dressing up as the Manipogo mascot, Men in Kilts, and some pretty serious fiddle music. Plus a very good fish chowder.

Tonight is a bit of blood donating over at the Legion for the crew while I head to an Ag Society meeting to make some new contacts for this coming billeting period.

I have also found a job for the summer out in Whistler with Tamwood International, so I'm taking donations. I hear it's pricey out there. It's a similar gig to what I'm doing now, but only for six weeks. It should be a good time.

And of course, a fun little game called Boomshine. In Easter colours, nonetheless.

March 16th. Manipogo.

96 days and counting. The last nine people are here.

Off to a festival this weekend up in St. Laurent. It's called the Manipogo festival and is centered around the tale that a giant Loch Ness sort of monster named the "Manipogo" resides in Lake Manitoba. To head a little closer to reality, it's a small town Metis festival focusing on fisherman. It should be good fun to volunteer at.

Meeting the Ag Society on Tuesday. World day for Water on Thursday. A compost workshop on Thursday evening. Swimsuit shopping with the group on Friday night for the What-not-to-wear beach day on Sunday. The Freeze Frame Festival on Saturday.

Busy times. But there's always time for a little story on a cultist who eats people.

Cheers.
