It's a Small Country


Carsten must have taken this photo in the wee hours last night from our balcony. I downloaded my pix this evening, and there were a bunch of photos that he obviously took while I was sleeping off that Rusty Nail.

He's out on the town with a high school buddy. There we were at Sam's Monkey Tree, taking in the Thursday night special (two beers and a burger for $8) when a young guy sits down at the our table on the outdoor patio.


It was Evan, a close friend from King's Edgehill and Avon View. Evan was a year ahead of Carsten and took helicopter maintenance at community college. They lost touch last year, and it turns out Evan got a job in Yellowknife this
spring. He's here with another young man from Brooklyn, who went to Brooklyn Elementary School with Carsten.

I've been ditched for the night, while the boys continue on at the pub. That's OK--this old girl can't keep up the pace. Carsten has to be up early for a helicopter ride tomorrow morning. The news producer at CBC, Harmen Meinders, arranged for his visiting brother to go up in a chopper with a friend who works at Great Slave Helicopters. And that just happens to be where Evan works!
