Cain wasn't able

" i would kill you if i wasn't in this car. "

and we don't doubt it...

Well today there was a first. I don't know if it was a first for Nakamun but it was a first for Luke,Kris and me. Here's how it went...
(that is the wall now..by the way, and me on the scaffolding)

We were running zip and wall, it was a normal group of kids from St.Albert. I was doing top of wall, Luke was doing zip. I always ask the kids their names when they get to the top and this particular day one of the guys was named "Cain". As i was hooking Cain up etc. i was lost in thought about why someone would name their kid Cain...the guy who notoriously killed his brother, and then thought about how there were just some names that kids shouldn't get ("we'll call her...Jezebel.") So anyways, i went through the usual steps and sent Cain on his way. The next guy was up and then I heard Luke call to me and point at the burma bridge...and there hanging was a lone trolley. I can't express to you the thoughts that went through my mind at that time as I looked to the ground expecting a dead and mangled Cain to be there. Then I thought I was going to die for almost killing a kid by not hooking him up right..and i pondered how Don would finish me off...perhaps Phoenix? It turns out it wasn't my fault...Luke had been busy at the wheel so he told Cain to let himself in etc and as Luke was just about to grab the rope and hook him up to the zipline..Cain had just unhooked his trolley and sent it back down. After the nauseous feeling went away..we all had a good laugh.

Well since Kathy is gone, Mel is here to fill in. I like Mel for many reasons..one of which is how friendly he is..but I guess ALL the kitchen staff are..
I also like the way he moves from the kitchen to the serving area with such grace and poise. He could be in "Swan Lake." Maybe he was a ballerina in his past. Is there a male form of that? Ballermana perhaps? Or Manerbina? He also always remembers me, which I appreciate. Although he did think me and Carissa were sisters till last year...and he also thought her name was Celeste. Remember that one Carcar? I was thinking about that today and how I don't know anyone by that name but it still sounded familar...and then I remembered Babar's wife...and since then the Babar theme song has been in my head.

Kris seems to have a bit of a crush on one of the teachers here right now. He practically stared at her behind the whole time she was climbing the wall..and later tried to justify it by saying "he was belllayyying her."

And in other news...i have excema again.

oh well. like my brother Colin tells me..

"excema girls get noticed"

peace out home-dawgs.
