The exercise:
Write about: the election.
Another Federal Election, another minority Liberal government for Canada. As I said last time around, anything is better than the Conservatives leading our government in any way, shape, or form.
Also: so far the local candidate I voted for looks to be getting re-elected as well. So... as good as things could reasonably be expected to go, I'd say.

The exercise:
Write about: a busybody.
But not like... well, interpret it as you wish. The inspiration, however, was Max's busy day: full day of school, followed by a dentist appointment, followed by his first Taekwondo class since June, followed by a couple hours with a babysitter.
Not to forget Miles, who also did the school (his first full day) and babysitter parts.
Anyway. They both did great today. Hopefully they fell asleep early enough this evening for tomorrow to be manageable.

The exercise:
I do believe September's edition of The East Wallingford Gazette is due to arrive right... about... now.
In other news, we went down to Osoyoos this afternoon to celebrate Natalie's 10th birthday. Which can only mean that Max's 9th birthday is lurking somewhere nearby...

The exercise:
Write four lines of prose about: a cerebral celebration.
It's late, I'm tired, it just popped into my head and I liked the way it sounded. I would apologize, but I trust you to be capable of dealing with my nonsense at this point.

The exercise:
Write two haiku about: first impressions.
Both boys enjoyed school this morning, which is a great way to start the year. Max switches to full days starting tomorrow while Miles gets half days for the rest of the week.
Monday September 6th, 2021
The exercise:
Write about: a first.
Miles' first day of kindergarten and Max's first day at his new school are both tomorrow. Conveniently, they will both be in the same building, so hopefully that helps... well, them both out. Half day to start, so they're getting eased into it at any rate.

The exercise:
Write about: the fishing trip.
Met up with the farm family at Kettle River for an end of summer get together. All the kids tried their hand at fishing in the river but nobody caught anything - other than a few sticks.

The exercise:
Write about something that is: unbelievable.
Like, I don't know, the fact that it's September already...
