Into the dark...

As we get closer to December 21, the days get shorter and nights get longer.

Trade show season has also resumed. In fact, I head to Yellowknife next week for one.

Rehearsals for the biennial musical are underway too. I'll be playing flute for Fiddler on the Roof.

Earlier this week I went to Qikiqtarjuaq (formerly known as Broughton Island ) for the day. The population of this community is just under 500 people. It was nice. Everything was covered in snow, even more than Iqaluit. Apparently there were 4 polar bears in the area, but they were on the other side of the bay and blended into the white landscape! What's scary is that I bought cereal in this small community for only $3.06 when I normally pay around $8.80 for the same size and type of cereal in Iqaluit. Bizarre, right?

So right now I should either be at Aquafit class or standing in line to get into the annual craft show. However, considering I didn't get back to my place till 4am this morning (it's now 9:35), I just can't seem to make myself go out into the cold. I did try around 8:30, but realized that I'd need to put on long-johns if I was going to walk or stand outside for any length of time and headed back inside. Awww...the joys of life, huh? With band rehearsal this afternoon, I feel like I should probably get a bit more sleep. See, life in a small town can be like life in a big town sometimes!!! Laziness works. :)

Enough of my ramblings for now. Until next time...
