Katimavik has Taken Over

---

I can't believe over 3 weeks have passed since I arrived in Labrador. It went by quick, but yet.. feels like Ive been here longer. I have so many stories I wish I could have told, but Im so busy having fun here. I started this post 10 days ago!! And never finished it.

Recent News:

- MY MOM IS GOING TO COMPETE AS PART OF TEAM CANADA AT THE 2010 ITU TRIATHALON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, in Budapest, Hungary next year!! Holy sweet mother of Joseph, I've never felt as proud of my mom as I do right now. I can't believe it.

Mom, you need to hide your car keys for a week. Your bicycle needs your love.

- I've been running, a lot. Every few days I get out. I havent dont that since I was boxing, a few years ago. It feels amazing. And its a really great way to see the forests around here, which there's a lot of. Its almost meditative, being out amongst the trees, bushes, and sky.

This is place slowly feeling more and more like a place Im going to be a very long time.

I have some new contact information aswell. My new mailing address is such:

PO Box 732
Station C
Happy Valley - Goose Bay, NL
A0P 1C0

My land line phone number is 709 896 8335, this is the best number to reach me at as it costs me nothing, versus my cellphone which costs me something.

Most of the photos Ive included are from my drive up here. A few are from here LIKE ME LOSING MY HAIR.. its slowly growing back now. And, my new home!

I have a week and a half left before my participants show up here. Wow, thats not a very long time at all. Pretty soon my house will be full of smiling, laughing, yelling, shreiking, happy and angry, boisterous and reclusive, smelly and clean Katimavik Participants. This is going to be great.

I have a night to myself. And its a night off. I dont know what to do with myself. I really dont. I have free time, and no-one to spend it with, no-one I really want to spend it with. Im by myself, for the first time in a while.. man, thats what happens when you have amazing friends here, I suppose.

Anyways, I love ya, whoever you are, thanks for giving a poop about what this young laddie's up to.
