1959 Su - 10AM Mass in Bechyn followed by church ice cream social including softball game [ed. - reverse Field of Dreams - the ballpark is now a cornfield].
1969 I gave Mom away at her and Bob's wedding - a small affair in a house. The minister was Anderson, a friend of Bob's.
1971 Netani Druavesi on the Queen's honors list for 38 years service.
1975 Neighborhood reunion at Signe's and met Dave. Deb came with David Hansen. Rene and Rob, Karen Roed, Steve (with a beard) and Becky, Terri and John. Everyone looked real good. Kincy showed up at 2AM and stayed in garage - the other guys went out there. Got home at 3AM.
1981 Su - Tornado warning had us in the basement for an hour. Touchdowns at Lake Harriet, Chicago and Lake, 46th and Washburn and Roseville. We went to Town's to bring Dick Father's Day gifts. Drove to his gas station and his main sign was knocked down. Damage everywhere (800 houses damaged, 2 deaths and 100 injured). Joyce gave Ne a training bike. Had a meal, strawberry shortcake and ice cream.
1983 T - David took kids to Bible School. Moreaux Park in their new Ecoline van.
1990 Another boring TQM meeting. Only 3 hours of sleep so I was trying to catch up at the meeting. Varney asked me why I was the only one voting against. I hadn't the slightest idea as to what was being discussed. I said while the others felt it could be done it would be very difficult for the Info Center and got away with it.
2004 Brundell over in PM for a meal and last minute organizing before he flys off to China.
2021 M - Won Castles of Burgundy big time with 312. Gail bought steak knives - super sharp and I cut a finger, eh? AFL: Bulldogs had a win over Dockers, who were in it until 4th term when Cox, Fyfe and Darcy all went down. Warriors went down to first place Melbourne 16 - 42. Mamalo scored 3 times. He wasn't to play but a last minute injury found himself in. His last game as staff doesn't want him and he is over to the Tigers. He was in tears at the end (video).
2022 T - Gail had to be at dentist at 8:15AM to have a broken upper tooth removed ($305). email from Lesser who is now retired. Istanbul and Colliseum with Coronados and Boysenberry Ripple Lumps. Listened to Twins while finishing ICW's portrait. AFL: Bottom two teams - Giants 138 - Eagles 86. Watched Apollo 13.
2023 W - Gail was extravagant and bought a tomato. AFL: Port over Tigers 77 - 67.
2024 F - Gail to Pathlab at 7AM for urgent test. I went to Cancer Center to see Dr Zhun Lee for the first time. PSA at 0.13 and he explained how it would be zapped. We agreed to put it off and watch PSA. Gail saw GP and as expected ended up at the hospital where she got an iron infusion, a couple blood transfusions and stayed overnight while they tried to drain the 4Kg of water from her legs. I managed to finish In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner during the 5 hours I was there.
