On Hiatus

It’s occurred to me I should update this blog to note that I am on hiatus until September. Instead of blogging, here’s what I’ll be up to:

  1. Visiting family in the Okanagan (mid-July)

  4. Parents visit me in Vancouver (late August)
  5. Road trip back to Winnipeg with my parents, resume blogging (early September)
