I have an extremely heavy work/travel schedule in the coming month, so blogging here at SDA will be a little slower than usual (starting today). The guest bloggers are, as always, invited to stop by if the mood strikes.
Until my lottery ticket investments pay off, the bills must get paid. Thanks for your patience, and have a safe and happy long weekend.

Have a great August Kate, you’ve earned it. Makes lots of money.
Cheers, Kate! Kate-o-patra, the Queen of Delisle.
Safe travels!
Sorry Kate, you have to keep working till at least after Friday’s Lotto Max draw because:
“The $15,611,639.10 LOTTO 6/49 Jackpot for Wednesday July 28, 2010 was won by one lucky ticket purchased in Ontario.”
Darn gum it! These national lottos in Canada seem to be a form of voluntary equalization payment to Ontario and Quebec.
Kate, your SDA blog has propelled you into the conscience of Canadians and into the hearts of conservatives.
I suspect you will be drawn into Kory Teneycke’s FOX North TV endeavour along with Conrad Black despite any reluctance you ( or which he) may currently express.
The die is cast, circumstances are shaping up and it’s just a matter of time, you will be well compensated for your conservative views in Canadian conservative TV!
As an aside and off topic to boot, Saskatchewan not only floats on oil, but is sitting on “potash” miles deep, the length and breadth of the province, is it not!
There’s your lottery ticket investment, right in Saskatchewan!!
In the meantime, have success with your current undertakings.
Kate,
Enjoy. And make certain that you keep track of your leisure hours so when you are asked, on your voluntary long form census, how many hours you took for holidays you can answer accurately.
Have fun, Kate, stay safe, and have more fun!!!
You have a very interesting work schedule, Kate. Have a great trip!
Win a lot of medals (O:}
