Good week

It's been a week since I was officially sworn in as mayor, what a feeling it was last Monday. A big sense of accomplishment and pride with a little be of trepidation. Taking a quote from uncle Ben from the movie Spiderman, "with great power comes great responsibility". As mayor, I don't have any more power then I did as a councillor, I'm only one vote in seven. What I do have is more influence on the direction of the Town. We will still discuss and debate everything in Council and then vote on the best course of action. I'm looking forward to settling into my new leadership role in our community. I have been given the go ahead to resume all activities (YES!) but I have to stop when my eyes gets red or if I fell pain. Time to amp up my Kung fu training and get back on track. On Saturday I went to open training and have now settled on my 5 techniques, (well 4 for sure and still working the kinks out of the 5), if anyone wants to allow me to practice on them, it would be greatly appreciated. Today, after work, we went to the lake to get things opened up and ready for use. The cabin wintered well but the boat shed was used by some cats as a washroom. (yuk) I raked thought the sand to clean most of it out. Next year, I'm going to seal te shed with some boards. Looking forward to warmer weather and spending a few out there with the family.
