The Summertime

Self Portrait

I have been having a fantastic summer.

Playing ultimate, mountain biking, walking, running, swimming, water fights, Writing on Stone, Cardston, cooking, and photographing half naked firemen for a calendar (really), the list goes on and on.

I've had a few chances to practise cooking roast beef, my Thai stir fry concoction is fantastic. I'm planning on enrolling in a cooking course or two this fall.

I've read a few books this summer and it looks like it is a trend that will continue, I'm excited about it. I'm not sure what I'm going to read next.

I went mountain biking in Elkwater on Monday and had a pretty good time. I wish I could have stayed longer, or that I would have someone to drive me to the top of the hill rather than having to ride up myself. Downhill riding is where it's at let me tell you. If I get into it enough next summer, maybe I'll break down and get a new bike. I could probably justify it to myself if I started riding my bike to work, something that I haven't done yet this year but have been meaning to do for a while now. Hopefully tomorrow.

Gary and Melanie

This is a picture of me falling in love.

My aunt Celanie introduced me to Melanie a few months ago. We have been dating ever since. I have such a good time with her. We go together really well. Everything she does makes me laugh.

I'd write more, but we are going golfing pretty soon.
