That is Tyler and Tiana. They are good persons. In a strange kind of way.But that is a Storm. That is good.

This is the Storm blog. Well hello, We are perfect and I presume I'm great. So I don't think I"m that grreat.

I'll pretend I'm great. Will that work?

Nighty night.

This is a good fire.

And that Shuan, he enjoyed it. That is me in the background wondering if im going to be left.

When one goes on a canoe trip, one loses ones' comb. A fork only comes in handy when one loses ones comb which is annoying. If I didn't know that was me, I'd think this pic of me is an alien of an unknown universe whom has a Bud and has a stash of mustard next to him.

I think Julie had a good time on the canoe trip. And isn't that what it is all about? The Storms do attract something don't they. Natural disasters and bees. If I see one more bee that isn't beneficial to life I'm going to kill it.

By the way I have more misquitto bites per square inch of skin than any one else.

I don't know who that is on the right, but there is Tyler and Col.

Agh.

Egad

I have no idea whom these persons are. I think that is Col and Tyler in the background. The foreground could be anyone. I know I'm not involved in this picture. I might have been totally amazed that Tyler is alive or that I am. No, this is a few years ago. I look like a Bohemian Rhapsody wapped into a sixty year old bod. Or not.

Good stuff

Well I survived the storm of the century. I didn't think I'd ever see trees flattened like matchsticks. Thank gawd Jim had a chain saw. The blue tarp was ripped off like a rip saw and we stood agape as the forest collapsed around us. Some ran for cover in the open field but a lot of us just stood there and watched tree after tree fall.

I've been through a scary thing or two. So we set off canoeing after that and it was pouring rain Saturday morn. But we did it. Saturday was good, more or less. Ger spilled. If I have to be a baby-sitter it wouldn't be good. Jim spilled. I have to look after him to?

An update on my relationship with Kev and Anita. I'm more or less taking over. Kevin is not capable of functioning as a human being, much less as a father and husband. I've been here two weeks and and I could write a book.

I'm gaining weight. I didn't want to gain weight. I think Bob and Lorraine and Stacy and Dawn are coming down, and children. I hear there might be a family reunion after the long weekend in August but I don't know. Might I note my headache? My headache is worse than most. It pounds.

But I love you all but some I might want to kill some. Those that annoy me are gone immediatlely. I'l use those bods as sources of agony. those that are within throwing distance of being normal but yet slightly abnormal. I'll preserve: uncle don? what? You can't pickle Robin. If he annoys me, I promise I can.

I honest to gowd don't think I will survive. You guys are all so good to me and I don't think I deserve it. Can't wail to see you.

Weather

Well, I will notice quite a difference in weather when I arrive out west I see. From the low 30's in TO to the low 20's in B.C. My last day at Market Probe today is going to be tough. I hate saying goodbye, hate it, hate it, hate it. My last bike ride to work (I'm selling my bike to a girl at work today). With my luck I'll get run over.

See ya.

Uncle Don? "are you going to survive the next two to three days?" "no" "howso?" "look at this apartment and take a guess" "take lots of ibuprofen, by the way where did you get all this garbage?" "it's not garbage to me" "by the way, how are you feeling?" "don't ask, I've a headache and I think my right arm is paralyzed" "and mentally?" "my brain feels like a watermellon that has been dropped from the CN tower"

I assume when I arrive in Creston, a fire will be built. This is a Neil picture of a fire at Kevins.

This is one of the person's whom I'm moving out to Creston to see: "Gord?" "yes don" "can I retract my resignation notice" "sorry, it's too late"

Has anyone noticed that Lorraine is one of the more attractive persons in the Storm realm. I do. And she has a heart of gold.

Who knew?

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogie said up jump the boogie. Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogie said up jump the boogie. And this is for the questions that don't have any answers. The midnight glancers and the topless dancers. The gang of freaks, cars packed with speakers. The Gs with the forties and the chicks with beepers

Gail, if we say cheese, Neil will ignore us.

Kim said to Neil: "I'm demure, and I may use your bod as a starting point for a migraine" "moi?" "and I hope you are wearing a jock strap"

Cousins

They are watching a Thomas the Tank Engine cd. Both Jim and Robin never grew out of it.

Yes even Kevin couldn't believe what Donna said: 'get that camera off me before I use it as a (something we don't want to know about) or I'll put my beer bottle up your (censored).'

It's kind of annoying that I have a family whom I'm afraid of. I've spent the last few years putting them all down (in a nice way). And Ger is nice to me and Kevin isn't. The age-old condundrum: Do I hang Kevin from a rafter or a tree.

Although perhaps no one cares which would suit me fine. That is what I hope for. I'm going to be fragile upon arrival, a mouse will set me off. Don't let Colin near me for a half hour. Gawd I miss Colin. He is cute. I could be wrong but there is a person who will look after me. Not that I'll need it mind you. Yes I will. I blubber when I'm out there for a week, what will I do when I'm out there forever: 'uncle don?' 'yes colin' 'you are blubbering' 'do I have to go back to Toronto?' 'no' 'serious?' 'no' 'this is going to take a while to get used to, I think everyone is mad at me' 'whom?" 'I can already hear the discontent' "where?' "all over, I can tell' "why are you in the fetus position uncle don?' 'I'm getting prepared' 'for what?' 'Kevin is coming home for soup soon and Anita is working and I'm not sure if I should have made the soup hot or luke warm'

In my life, it should be interesting. I don't know, maybe they have a cabin ready for me. I can't see me and Kevin under the same roof. I'd be okay but Kevin would hit the roof: Kev? you are annoying me, sleep somewhere else, I'm oiling my chains, and I sold your tv because I don't like it and I've sent Anita away to learn Japanese ceramics for a week or two. And by the way, on the way home could you buy me herbal tea, chai would be good.

could happen.

Hello

You were expecting pictures? I've so many to choose from now that I need a little more time. Like six or seven months. I suppose I could post them all, which I might but I don't think that's feasible. But I should do agree with that old saying: 'a picture is worth a thousand words'.

Not only was Roy's Wake held last weekend, but Marlene's ashes were spread on Goat Mountain at a place where she would look at from the kitchen window. As Bob said: "very moving". And a new Storm was born: Brant Roy Storm. I think I missed quite a weekend.

And it's June 1st. It's been quite hot, humid, and smoggy here in TO for the last while. It's pretty bad when one's eyes sting when biking to work and back. And of course I sweat like a pig and need to drink a gallon of water when I get home.

So I'll post pics on the weekend (with perhaps a few words of wisdom (or not) included), and I hope you all have a good weekend.
