It was a good thing I stopped at Canadian Tire last night and picked up a new larger (9x12) tarp in preparation for the predicted thunder storm, and BOY WAS IT A STORM! The sound of heavy rain pounding down on a new tarp is deafening. Thanks to the new nine by twelve, I was dry and warm. It was like sleeping in the Ritz Carlton...kind of. I ran into Wanda today at the post office and she told me my dinner from her and Paul at Diane's in Five Islands is all arranged. As recommended, I'll be having the Flounder, I can't wait. Thanks again! (BTW, I never got your email). I had a nice interview this morning with Mitch Wertleib from Vermont Public Radio. It was cool talking with him since I've been listening to VPR for years. Oh yeah, I talked to Woody at the bike shop back in Brattleboro today and he told me that the new bike was shipped today via UPS. If all goes well, it should arrive on Thursday! Basil is helping me get the bike set up once it arrives and I guess this means I'll be pedalling again sometime this weekend. We're only up to $255 Canadian on my recovered bicycle on eBay. I really hope it does better than that. It's an awesome bike, and I'm hoping to raise a good amount to help support the YMCA. They're struggleing for money and they can use all the help they can get. If you'd like to make a contribution directly, please send it to:
Cumberland YMCA

OK, gotta run!
Cheers!
