Pace on Earth

Me and Sarah Jane

Lordy, Lordy...Sister Sarah's birthday is today and Steve and her friends managed to pull off an actual surprise party last Saturday to celebrate. I'm not sure how they managed to keep a party in Carleton County secret from Sarah but they did and for that they should be commended. Dad, Erin and I added to the surprise and were treated to typical Carleton County hospitality.

Sarah was getting a little worried about her big day passing without any fanfare but she was not let down and all of her friends showed up and some family too. This led to her showing off the form that has earned her the title in the Bristol Big Hugs contest for 16 years running. It's quite a record. Here she is practicing her technique at an early age:We had a great night with some great people and with Sarah's house full-up we were treated to a night at the Shamrock Suites. Happy Birthday to me! Oh wait...Happy Birthday Sarah!

In other family news from last weekend, Will's run with TUNB's play The Rover ended on Saturday night. Will played the title character and did an absolutely amazing job. The Rover is an olde english play and Will needed to speak in that tongue throughout. The fact that he remembered his lines would have been enough for me. But he did so much more than that; he took the character and ran with it and, in my mind, stole the show. I spoke to him after the show and he was very humble about it. I asked him how the hell he managed to remember all of his lines. He told me it was alot of hard work and a near total disregard for all of the other courses he is enrolled in. Now that's my brother! Nice work Will.Pace out.
