Saskatoon berry picking


 Went to a you pick place that Geremy recommended near Moose Jaw today. Berries are a bit smaller but very flavourful. Very hot out. Got three buckets on our own and Margaret purchased another bucket of frozen berries.

Bird People songs


 I would like to simulate a handful of 100+ year old songs to be referenced within the bird people radio play I'm updating. I found a few things and William is working at constructing midi files from them, but doesn't seem to have them right yet.

On campus


 On campus for a couple of hours. Had coffee with Lee and dropped off a computer. Met with Erika and Mike to practice her defence. Parked off campus and walked in. Weather is hot but felt good.

Matt visits


 Matt came by and picked up the super 8 films and also bought a couple rolls of super 8 colour film from me. We talked at length about the screening and I told him hos exhilarated I felt by keeping on top of all the problems (which admittedly, some I caused myself). 


Geremy was also over. We did a read through of my first solo radio show. They picked it apart, but I think due to my current state of rest, I didn't feel myself getting upset. Instead, at least by an hour after the reading, I'm fairly game to do the work and make it better.

Fish toys?


 I think the catfish moves stuff around in the fish tank when we aren't watching. Today I placed three marbles in there to see if he'll move them. 

Ron Mein was over at the house. William and Ron talked about their idea for about 3 hours.

Lazy day


Hot weather. Played cards with mom. Cat sleeps and eats and meows, but mostly eats. I did a bit more work putting my stuff from the office away. The garage is less cluttered but (after 12 days) still pretty far from clean. The goal is to just get a bit of progress every day. That way I never feel guilty about it, nor do I feel exhausted by it. I'm also doing at least a small amount of bird people radio show work every day.

Wild Boar

Had Paul over for supper. I barbecued the wild boar burgers that I bought from Butcher Boy when I was out trying to find a new source for elk burgers (I didn't find any). Boar was pretty good. Certainly tasted like pork, but was juicy and flavourful. We played half a game of Root.
