Slacker Blogger

To all my blog fans....sorry, I've been slacking big time! I wish I was able to blog while I was in China - but internet access was limited and we didn't take a laptop with us!! Also, I wish I had written in a journal - which I normally do, but for whatever reasons decided not to this time. So, I thought about going back in time and trying to recreate a daily log - but just don't have the energy to do so. Then I thought I would just post photos here...but it is such a slow process - so I've uploaded my photos to my Flickr site - www.flickr.com/photos/jspaul2 - please check them out there!!

Scott and I also recently went to Winnipeg or Winterpeg as I like to call it for a friend's wedding. Gary Lawless (last man standing) finally got married to Jennifer Blais. Many friends travelled to the land of ice and snow to celebrate the nuptials. Again, I've posted pictures on my flickr site.

Some of you may have heard, but my dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer - not surprising after smoking for 65+ years. The tumour is only 2.4 cm and on his upper right lung. Anyways, Dr. H. Marcus is very optimistic that removing the top 1/4 of his right lung will hopefully get rid of the cancer - since it is in its early stages. So, he goes in tomorrow morning at 6:30 a.m. to Oshawa Lakeridge Hospital for the surgery, and he will be in there for about a week! Hopefully, all goes well - I am remaining very positive!
