In this month, Nate hit the big 50, discovered a mouse in the house, looking for answers golfing and P-dawg dumped me in the water while sailing. As well as the usual Brad observations in Ctown...
Protesting Christian's and Jews beside each other, that's confusing...clearly I didn't get it.

Side Story: Met Burcu at volley ball and it turns out she is from Turkey, Antalya to be exact which was my favourite spot. She knows all the spots I loved when I was there, even the bar I got banned for life from! Small world.
Discovered some mouse droppings downstairs and tried to figure where they got in to the house.

High end Vietnamese on 17th
"An Sang" is very pricy |
Sad, but time to put my small sail boat up for sale. Some really fun times, but Dale and I just don't make time for the boat anymore especially now that I have a bigger boat in the Caribbean it's nice to get away from sailing when in Canada.
 |
| It was a fun spot for 10 years |
Jamming in the garage with Tommy A.
Found a super good and cheap spot for Vietnamese with my friend Aimee who is back in Calgary after living away in New Zealand for 7 years with her kids. Pho Thanh is a great spot.

Out to lower Kananaskis to golf 9 holes with my mom at Livingstone which is very nice. If only I tapped in that damn eagle (would have been my first)!! Of course my mom beat me, steady and straight (what a concept).

Good buddy Nate's big birthday surprise (1 month ahead to make sure he was surprised). We all waiting in the garage as Tanya tracked him coming home with her phone. He was shocked.
A recycled card from my birthday that I expect to see down the road.

Super slippery side story: Third time sailing with Percilla and thought why not be a gentleman and do the work setting up the jib while she was on the tiller steering us (for her first time). I went up front to undo the lashing I had on the unset jib, the boat started to drift off course so I said steer us back forgetting to say GENTLY and next thing I knew I was flipped in to the water wrapped up in the jib sheets. When asked how did I get back to the boat I said, "I never left as I was tied up in ropes". Percilla with embarrassed and I was not happy and disappointed in my captaincy. The captain in the water is about as bad of sailing any captain can do. Humbling, but funny once I dried out. Good it was 30 degrees. First Man Overboard Drill too.
PS. it took me 5 minutes to get back in the boat as I had no breath the first minute and no strength to climb in. Good thing Percilla is strong and could pull me in by the life jacket.

Another good summer hockey completed by an Andrew P. BBQ (I may have had something to do with this tradition starting years back).
