I'm in Ottawa this week visiting relatives, primarily related to the 'Gordie Gras' event that my cousin-in-law Gord puts on every year on Labour Day weekend. Basically, it's a crawfish cookout.
But I'm also catching up with some other folks. I saw Kaveh for the first time in years last Sunday. He's doing well, married with a cute little boy, working as a doctor here, but may be moving to Toronto.
Today I was out golfing with Michael, my former student. We were over in Quebec at the Champlain course in Aylmer. It was good. Shot 113, which is a little higher than I would have liked, but fine. Average last year was 108, so was a bit off that. Rental clubs, and an unfamiliar layout may have played a role in that, as I hit at least 3 approach shots over the green: oops!
Michael's so funny, 'cause he hits a bad shot or can't find his ball and whines for 5 or 10 min, and then pulls a miraculously good shot out of his ass, and giddy with glee. I just shake my head at it all.
Mostly here, I've been hanging out with relatives though, which has been fun. More of that to come, as some more cousins arrive tonight or tomorrow for the big feast that's going to happen on Saturday.
