I joined the parade up to the Minto Arena and picked up Paul Gardiner on the way. Paul was volunteering at the Relay. I also got to carry the banner to lead all the survivors on our first lap. Another honour.
I sat with the Poohs Relay Team for most of the rest of the time. I got up and did the occasional lap and bought a lap marker in memory of my mother Edith Burpee.
It was an awesome day and I left around 2 o'clock. It continues to midnight with great music and other events. I wish I could have stayed but I have another busy day planned for tomorrow. I hope to, and encourage, everyone to attend. They have hotdogs!
Carolyn and I visited Pierson Waye in the Moncton Hospital yesterday. Pierson and I shared a room for most of last summer. He had a relapse but they caught it quick so we are all hoping for a short stay.
Other than that it was a good 8 days at work. I survived. Was in bed at about 9 o'clock every night.
