02-12-26 a Good Day!
today was a joint meeting between the two Rotary clubs and the Chamber for The Mayor’s Lunch. His honour Mayor Way e Price did a good job and kept on time. The food was good and the only downside was that the water ran brown at the Heritage so we couldn’t have any. Good thing there were so many city employees there.
Afterward I went to meet with Dave and we had a good long visit before he offered to be a $5000 sponsor! What a generous friend. He said he did it for the community and for me.
Brett, Carl, Ryan, and I were Three Men & a Little Lady and we tied for Second which the other team bowed out of the tie breaker so we got a $25 GC to Firehall. Looks like a Friday beer is in our future.
Brett and I sat around after having a ‘therapy’ session. He agrees we are clearly both undiagnosed somewhere on the spectrum. Labels are not necessary, it’s just nice to hang with someone else who ‘speaks’ spectrum. He and his family have become dear friends.
The negative part of the day was finding out after the fact that TM Roberts, Sawyer’s school was put on lockdown this afternoon due to a domestic in the house next-door that involved a gun. That incident followed on the heels of the kids being talked to this morning about the massacre in Tumbler Ridge. Those poor kids. Sawyer said they didn’t know whether the person with the gun was in the school or not. It must’ve been very scary. Rae is encouraging him to talk about it but we are also all very upset that someone told him that the shooter had killed her mom and younger brother which very much upset Sawyer. That was not information that he should’ve learned at school. He said it was his teacher, but we don’t know for sure.
