This month started with skating in the New Year along with CES, BioTrials and a short trip to Montréal.

I took a short break before heading back to Montreal. It brought some great memories from the past but also bad news.

Usually May is a happy month with family birthday's and the coming of Spring. But this year my mother passed away on March 8th.

Muffins for home, marathon training, and a Capstone in Game Development. It was a busy month.

Game development is coming along well and I had my first experience going to the Emergency Room in the USA.

A trip to Toronto and Western Ontario started the month. This followed with my Mother's End-of-Life Celebration.

July was a quiet month where we got to redo our back yard and have some friends over from out of town.

While the coverage of the Summer Olympics was not the best and I did enjoy a 5k and time in Seattle.

A trip to the State’s Capital for business gave me a change to visit the Smithsonian and the Pentagon.

Between getting ready for Halloween and a trip to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, most of my free time was spent on running.

This month's highlight was the Las Vegas Rock 'n Roll for 1/2 Marathon followed by a great Thanksgiving.

We flew off to visit three Hawaiian Islands and to participate in the Honolulu Marathon. What a great vacation!
