Newsflash

So after being robbed the other night in the B'ball the Kiwis beat the World Champs Serbia! The big question on everyone's lips: will the US even make the finals. Once again we are reminded that international basketball is a whole different ballgame. Then tonight the Kiwi women's b'ball team beat China - the Asia Pacific champs. Fun to watch. Big weekend for the Kiwis with multiple rowing finals and Women's cycling 3000m pursuit. We have world champs competing in both disciplines so our best chances for medals!

Anyway, tired tonight. Did a presentation on the Wesleyan church at the Bible College today. Seemed to go OK. Started my new job today. Taken on looking after my mother 15 hours a week at $10.40 per hour. Should help hold things together till the next contract in 6 weeks. Praying the "Thompson prayer" at the moment: "Lord, send money, not work!"

See ya
