-Decided that it is there that I want to live
-Compiled a book of photographs (having nothing to do with New York)
-Been accepted to the National Youth Jazz Band out in Ottawa
-Gone to ottawa
-Spent five of six hours on the phone with a certain someone
-Saw 21 or 23 concerts in 10 days
-Saw Dave Brubeck live (and it was sooooo amazing)
-Saw the Dizzy Gillespie All Star Big Band (which is the tightest big band I've ever seen)
-Learned the remainder of the lyrics to "Fly me to the moon"
-Attempted to seranade someone
-Several times
-Been hit hard by the non-needle carrying hand of my girl-friend (thank goodness it wasn't the other way around)
-Taken a potters wheel course, and succeded to make nothing but a lop-sided, scratched up bowl

-Driven lots
-Got accepted into the Alberta Honor Band
-Observed the massive thunderheads of a late day prarie storm

-Kicked my sisters ex-boyfriend in the nuts (only in my mind, seeing as I havn't seen him in awhile)
-Sat on a dock with a certain someone,
-And perhaps, got a little bit misty, couldn't tell my hat from my glove.........

Perhaps it's love.....
