Fluff
I haven't been blogging for a number of reasons.
- I haven't felt like it!
- it's summer and I've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather to get outside as much as possible.
- I've devoted more time to improving my health and physical fitness; working out at the gym and going cycling.
- my family history project demands a fair bit of time.
Added to those activities are things such as family time, friends, household chores, reading, and more. I'm certainly beginning to understand why I often hear retired people talk about how busy their lives have become.
But it's all good! Life is good!
Speaking of history; I came across some silly stuff related to history - an amusing little ditty by The Arrogant Worms called History is made by Stupid People. Some fluff to lighten up the day.
Nobility are famous for no reason
Mary Antoinette enjoyed her cake
She caused a revolution when she would not share
And her husband lost his head for that mistake
The Hindenburg was a giant zepplin
Its makers made a minor oversight
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should have fixed the no-smoking light
History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die
Tally-ho! Tally-ho!
Our king and country's honour we will save!
Tally-ho! Tally-ho!
We're marching into history and the grave!
So if your son and daughter seem too lazy
Sitting there watching bad TV
Just remember you should be quite grateful
At least they are not making history

Scott became famous for freezing to death in Antarctica
Columbus made history thinking some island was India
General Custer's a national hero for
not knowing when to run
All of these men are famous
And they're also very dumb
History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try

Getting Away
As our anniversary, which coincides with the Canada Day long weekend, was approaching Heidi and I started talking about getting away for a few days.
At first we talked about going to the States for a few days, but we couldn't come up with a good reason to head south to Grand Forks or Fargo. We're not into shopping and with the short time frame we had there was not enough time to do some sightseeing.
We thought about going to Kenora, Ontario but figured that with the holiday weekend it was going to be jammed with people - not our idea of a good time.
Southern Manitoba came into the discussion but we've visited communities there in the past. Going there again didn't excite us.
I asked Heidi if she's ever been in northern Manitoba (actually more central Manitoba). I used to head there occasionally with my job and I knew there were some interesting communities and wonderfully scenic areas on the drive. Heidi thought it might be interesting so I planned out a short trip (4 days, 3 nights). As I called to make hotel reservations I realized there was no point making an overnight stop in Dauphin - Country Fest 2012 was on and the hotels were all booked up. I booked us into hotels in Swan River, The Pas, and Flin Flon.
We left last Friday morning and returned yesterday (Monday).
Getting away from the city, spending time together and taking time to see some of our province made for a special time for Heidi and myself. I especially enjoyed sharing my previous experiences in these parts with Heidi.
There is much more to explore in Manitoba. Something to look forward to.
