Current Affairs

So today Japan was hit by the largest earthquake recorded in their history, 8.9 on the Richter scale. The raw footage that has been captured on the subsequent tsunami is unbelievable. There are also tsunami alerts in Hawaii where my sister-in-law Melissa and her family recently moved. They were evacuated but fortunately no significant damage has been done on any of the Islands. My heart goes out to the people of Japan. Unfortunately they have already suffered hundreds of fatalities.

In other news, superficial, unimportant news, I have the same name as one of Charlie Sheen's girlfriends! Natalie Kenly is her name, so at least the spelling is different. Charlie Sheen is ALL over the news and Calvin has been obsessed with repeating his infamous catch phrases like: "I'm bi-winning".

Last night was an Elton/Harker reunion. Nita was in Seattle with Mary, Treva, Dave and Alyce and Calvin and I spent the evening with Sarah at a karaoke joint in Ogden. Sarah was on fire! I'm telling you. And Calvin's performances of "How Deep is your love?" and some R. Kelly track were real crowd pleasers. Unfortunately, my duet with Sarah of "Independent Women" needed a little work but Calvin said I was better than the super super drunk guy.

Finally, the boys and Andy returned to Logan this week after a very successful trip to Disneyland! James called me a couple times from the park and it was adorable to hear the pure excitement in his voice. It was the trip of a lifetime (as Dad would say) and its been so fun to catch up with them and hear their stories. Finn's favourite ride was the tea cups and James loved the Matterhorn.
