Month: June 2007

Things have been so busy around here that I’ve completely forgotten to include a little smack talk in my blog. (This post is aimed at someone who lives in Calgary, but the rest of you can listen in if you want to.)

First, a concession. I guess a certain somebody called it right when she said that the Cavaliers would be in the Finals. I never thought they would make it past the Pistons, but here they are. This being said, they have been getting whupped–by my Spurs. Having a one-man team is apparently enough to get you out of the east, but it isn’t enough to compete with anyone out west. In fact, this Cavaliers team is the worst team that the Spurs have faced in the playoffs thus far. I was much more worried about the Nuggets and the Suns (and the Jazz for that matter) than I am about the Cavaliers. The Cavs may get lucky and pull out a win tonight, but if they don’t, they are going to be swept.

Go Spurs!

So we’re back in Manitoba. I’ve changed gears, but it doesn’t seem to be a slower one. I’m teaching a course called Critical Thinking at the University of Manitoba. The course covers some formal and informal logic, teaches students how to recognize and evaluate arguments, and how to avoid errant reasoning. It’s been fun–I think–but it is wearing me out. I decided that I would try to present my lectures with the use of Powerpoint. It makes for a nice finished product, but it adds a significant amount of time to my preparation. The nice thing is that, when I teach the course again in two weeks, I’ll have all of the lectures prepared.

Anyway, we’re enjoying the Manitoba weather and attractions. Just this evening, we went to BDI for ice cream. I think that when we return to Massachusetts, we’ll take BDI with us.

So we have safely arrived back in Manitoba, it feels good to be back on Canadian soil once again. Our travel was uneventful as all good driving days should be. There is something to be said about the events that make a good story, but I am more then happy not to have a new story at this time. We are making our selves at home in our house with my brother and sister. We can be reached through our old phone number if any of you still have it around.
