It’s been an interesting summer thus far, with cool temperatures and sporadic rain fall. This year’s 100th staging of the Canadian Open has suffered from heavy rains and lengthy rain delays. Hopefully the tournament will wrap up sometime late today.
Apparently the pros have set a PGA TOUR record with seven holes-in-one thus far at the Canadian Open. Mike Weir enjoyed one of those.
Unlike the golfers in Oakville, I have just had a productive and most enjoyable weekend. Saturday was spent with my two boys pursuing various activities. One of their friends was also over for a visit, which made for less work for all as we made cookies and then devoured them afterwards.
Sunday afternoon I visited St. Jacobs and had my wallet continually challenged by wonderful antiques, fascinating current release books and also captivating historical volumes. (Put simply, I’m a sucker for old books.) In the end I escaped unscathed, save for a relatively minor book purchase.
The rest of the weekend was spent working away on Parmasters KW, lining up the remaining capital required, etc. Some investment opportunities remain, for those of you that may be interested. We’re now spreading the word far and wide, as we finalize things and get ready for the next phase of the center’s development.
For now, time to head to the office.
I’ll end with this quote from Fitzgerald’s translation of a selection of 11th century Persian poems, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. An historical volume of this work found its way into my hands yesterday, in St. Jacobs. This quote has been a favourite since I first read it back in high school, and it forms a gentle reminder of words to remember as we all embark on a fresh week.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
-The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam - Edward Fitzgerald
