This is going to be a relatively short post since I really don't have much to say.
I thought there may be some people out there interested in checking out my story on Williams Lake's own Rick Hansen, the Man in Motion. It ran in Tuesday's Tribune this week. Check it out online at www.wltribune.com. That's not a suggestion, it's an order!
So another week has come and gone here in Williams Lake. I've been employed at the Tribune for five months now. It feels longer and shorter than that at the same time. Well, it feels like it's been longer than five months since I was working in Lacombe but shorter than five months since I've been here if that makes any sense. Then again, Lacombe is more than 900 kilometres away so the vast distance between the two towns makes it feel like it's been longer. I still believe that it was the best decision crossing the provincial border and I have no regrets doing it. But I still haven't ruled out moving back to the prairies, I'm just done with the small town Alberta living. If the right job were to pop up in Edmonton, Red Deer or Calgary I'd be tempted to go for it. Actually the Calgary Herald is looking for a sports reporter right now. I think I need at least another five years before I'd even be qualified for a job like that.
My cash flow at the bank is also reaching a low point again. But at least with winter approaching and the temperatures dipping I'll be spending more time at home and less time travelling so saving up money should come easier.
I have found I've been getting lazier lately, which is a habit I need to get out of. I think it's just the time of year. I've always found the fall a little depressing. There's Christmas to look forward to but other than that what is there? The other big thrill of the fall, Halloween, has come and gone. I also worked this weekend so I missed out on what could've been a three-day weekend like some of our staff here enjoyed. If I had that off I would've certainly went up to Prince George for the weekend.
Wow, that's probably among the most boring posts I've ever typed. It was getting too painful to type any longer. I think I need another crazy party soon, or a trip somewhere.

I read your article, although I have no interest in sports, it was really well written! And really your post was not boring at all.

Thanks. Well I just returned from travelling with our local Junior A hockey team to cover some road games. I'll likely post on that so it should be more interesting.
