The Neverending Math Equation

Well fishing season started last Saturday, I spent the long weekend at home and it was awesome...great seeing mom and dad as well as my buddies from Wisconsing who came up for their annual Canadian fishing experience...



Now that's a Walleye....

I caught this beauty fishing off shore near my parents home at Beaver Lake, while helping my Mom learn the finer points of fishing. She is a fast learner and it didn't take her long to bring in her first fish, an impressive Northern Pike. A couple of the teachers from here also spent the weekend out at my folks' and it was a good time.

Despite some poor weather I have managed to go fishing 10 of the first 13 days of fishing season. One of the highlights was going trout fishing at a remote lake with one of the school's caretakers. What a wicked fishing experience, the trout were hungry and I kept 4 beautiful fish which I plan on smoking...



First trout of 2007....Alright!!!

Things ahve been going well in the community, we have had no deaths of any kind in a considerable amount of time (knock on wood please). School is becoming a good routine and my students are working hard and I am finding it more and more rewarding. It was a tough start but I really feel Im have gained the respect of the students. I have decided I will stay here for another year.

Well we are really on the homestretch now and looking back over this blog it is amazing the transition I have made into life up here, an experience that I will never forget, I just hope next year is less dramatic....
