We're hosting our first visitor from Japan: "aunt" Yaguchi Miwako.

カナダにようこそ!

All three of us went to the airport for her 21:00 arrival. We went downtown to the "Nuit Blanche", which is an outdoor art exhibit/festival. Sadly, it was only 7ºC, so the weather put a damper on things. Also, Kenny hated the screechy, flashing-light 'avant garde' stuff so we couldn't linger at the first site. Actually, I'll put the show down to being a bit of a drag, really. It wasn't really engaging, and the crowd seemed to just shuffle around looking a bit confused.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.
