Jo,

The summer was fine...we could have had better weather tho. We went
camping for a week in Algonquin, and it rained every day. We still
had fun.

I had planned to do the Victoria Marathon this fall--we booked the
hotel and the flights--the whole family was going to come. But I was
holding off on the race registration. Which was a good thing....my
running had to completely stop over the summer as I was hit with a
pretty severe bout of back pain. I think I am pretty much over the
worst of it, so I am getting back into some "gentle" running this
weekend.

As for Victoria, we are still going--it will just be for a holiday.
It is over the Thanksgiving Weekend, so it should be a nice holiday.

And after that, the countdown will be on for the concert! Though my
son is already counting the days!

Bob
