 It was 28 years ago today that Nancy and I had our first date. It wasn't supposed to be a date but looking back at it, it definitely was a date. each year we try to relive it. We might have a problem this year because of the snowstorm, but there will be other anniversaries, God willing.

 Sunday today. A fairly eventful day for me. We always go to church on Sunday morning, but today will have special significance because Nancy will be baptized and confirmed and I will be confirmed. I was baptized when I was 5 months old. If I had stayed in the church until I was 13, I would also have been confirmed. Alas, I left when I was 12, joined the local street gang and forsook all the teachings of the church. I only recently started going back to church so I am going to renew my faith and getting confirmed is part of it.

There is an AGM at the church after today's service so we plan to attend some of that. We won't be able to attend all of it because the wrap-up meeting for the midwinter roundup is also this afternoon at one and since I am the outgoing chair of that, my presence is needed.

Then, I have my usual sponsorship session at 7 and and online meeting at 8, so yes eventful sounds about right.

Saturday has arrived. It snowed last night but only a light dusting which ;ater turned to rain so that's a good thing. I don't have much to do today but tomorrow I have a lot to do abd I did not want the weather to hamper any of it.

We go to church as usual and during the service Nancy will be baptized and we both will be confirmed. I was already baptized but I left the church when I was 12 so I missed being confirmed. Going to take care of that tomorrow. 

Then, the church as its annual general meeting and I'll try to take in a bit of that but I will have to leave before its over because the final committee meeting for the midwinter roundup is also tomorrow at one and since I'm chair of that committee, well I kinda have to be there.

But that's all tomorrow.

 They tell me it's Friday. When you're retired all days are like the weekend. I usually meet up with a fellow for a book study but he is  visiting his mother this weekend and asked if we could skip today.  I think family visits are good and the book will still be there next weekend.

Our other big book meeting - Serenity Corner - is tonight. I always look forward to that.

Rest of the day looks like video games.

 It's Thursday. Couple things going on today. The men's lunch is today, at my church. There is an archivist committee meeting and there's a meeting at St. Luke's that I'll probably go to. That's the plan anyway. I can make a plan; I just can't plan the outcome of said plan.
