fall in
We had our first coed game of the season last night…lost 4-3. It was a lot faster and rougher than I had expected – the men make no exceptions with the females, and some of the guys are huge. Had a really great time though, as usual.
Back at work today for the first of many Saturdays. Having the weekends off during the Summer was such a treat but I almost welcome the change of pace. Now that it’s Fall I feel it’s time to hunker down and get back into a routine. Have decided not to go back to school. In my eternal flip-flopping I’ve flopped back to thinking, “What the fuck am I going to do with a degree?” Ah, flip-flopping…the story of me. On the bright side I have been able to make my current job full-time (at least for the next few months) so I no longer have to look for another job or undergo intense scrutiny under the eyes of potential employers during sweaty-armpit inducing interviews. Seniority in a union does have its perks. Yep, life is really good right now. I have a job that doesn’t rob me of too much time or dignity; I have sooooooo much time to play and the money to do it, good friends (some new mixed in with the old) and a great love. Should I wait for the other shoe to drop? Is it all going to go kapoof because of Murphy? Naaaa, I’m only happy because I choose to be so. There are plenty of things going on that could bring me down, I'm just choosing a different focus.
Cool memories of the summer: watching the fireworks from the sailboat, smoking cigarettes on the school field after long days of landscaping, still light outside when leaving the hockey rink, dinghy mission to the forbidden island at 5am, hiking to the top of Keats Island and getting caught out with my clothes off, impromptu trip to Parksville and dining with the oldies, Whistler weekend…bike park, pinot noir, $25 breakfasts (yah!), scoring my first goal (coast to coast), roller-blading at Stanley Park, cross country riding the Fishermans trail and conquering the log rides whoohooo. Let’s hear it for long days, fragrant air, and warmth! Until next year…
