Canada's Capital

Every night, while I lay awake in bed, I think about how I didn't write in my blog...again. I apologize for making you all wait so long for this post, I know you've been looking forward to it, sitting on the edge of your computer chairs...waiting....! Except, much to my dismay, that is not likely the case, and you could really care less about this blog, or any of the other ones of written for that matter. O well, I'll continue to write them anyway, even just for myself.

At this very moment, Tim is up ahead with about twelve riders from Ottawa. They are escorting him to the Children's Hospital in Ottawa, and then after the visit, we have a big press event with the riders and 'Elgins Guard.' Elgin was a two year old who died of Neuroblastoma on May 19, 2007 after watching to Ottawa Senators play hockey. Today a big group of kids will be meeting Tim in Ottawa for a tribute to Elgin, the little guy who had such an impact on Ottawa.

The past few days have been really awesome. Having the Harrimans back has been great. I've been working on part two of the newest video, which is now up on the 'youtube' site, and taking lots of pictures. It seems there is never a moment of rest when it comes to the website, videos and phone calls.

At the moment, I am searching the internet, (my only source of connection to the outside world) for a job. Before leaving for the trip, I had planned to come back and begin my EMT training on October 1st. Because of the tour, I am unable to make it to the pre-testing dates, so I have to wait now until January. At the moment, I'm really just a little bit confused with what I am to do with my life. 'Monster.ca' has been a big help when it comes to searching for jobs....but I don't want any job, I want to make a difference in a life, but these days, you need to go to school for a year to be able to do that. I'm a little bit discouraged, I'll be honest, although I wouldn't trade this tour for anything...not even my career. I'm dedicated to this trip, and to Tim until the very end.

Well guys, I must get back to work....talk to you soon.
