Deloraine

 I took a break, went for a walk, and took these photos.








Saturday 9:10 AM: Alberta, Chile, Deloraine, Ottawa


The above view is from my Brandoon apartment.

I have classes with three of the places in the title.

Deloraine, I have to drive to:




Valentine’s Day


 My wife’s birthday, this year*, is two days after Valentine’s Day.  So I sent her an 888**RMB hongbao*** gift.

*My wife celebrates her lunar calendar birthday.

**8 is a lucky number in China.

***hongbao is red envelope money.  Money gifts are given in red envelopes in China which now has e-hongbao.

Friday Adoration





 I kept changing my mind about going to Mass today.  For one thing, I had gone on Thursday; for another, I had to take my mother grocery shopping.  Bit my Mom ultimately decided to have me do the shopping: she wasn’t feeling well.  So, I decided to go to Saint Augustine’s adoration which takes place after the Friday Mass.  I love it: it is quiet and there is the smell of incense.  And very quiet people praying to God.

Friday 8:00 AM: Not so busy


 It’s a little foggy outside.

I have four online classes today: Alberta, Ontario, Chile & Colorado.
