Yesterday I went out and met my great Aunt Mary and her husband. It was nice, though did draw attention to how long I'd been here and how little family I had met. Today, we (yet, again) failed to go visiting. Instead I had a short walk about town. At dinner one of dad's cousins and his kid popped around to visit.
My second cousin, Mike, is about my age and has a job I'm jealous of. For reasons unknown, being I'm very much not the computer geek, I am always jealous of sys-admin-ish sorts with cool companies. My second cousin does something network related with IBM. I want to work for IBM - shame I have absolutely no applicable skills or aptitudes.
But then I have no skills or aptitudes for what I do either. I do get irrationally peeved at "Word of the Day" things that don't give etymologies though, so maybe philology isn't entirely out of my reach.
While in Campbell River, I have been slowly churning my way through the book I bought to read on planes. Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion and I think it has proved the contrariness of my nature. The more I read, the more my atheistic leanings are abandoning me. I'll have to avoid similarly aimed books or I may soon find myself making the weekly trek to church.
