Bonobos and Me

Sorry for my lapse in blogging. It was a busy week and weekend. Got back from Vancouver last night with Peter's bro--Bruce visiting. And as I just got back from an all day class at Uni. I'm known as the class pervert after today, I don't even care. 

I mentioned Bonobos as an example as naturally bisexual apes when the Prof was waxing on about human sexuality and how environment can play a roll. So the prof says, "Yes, people with alternative and  unusual sexualities know all about the Bonobo's"--the class turned to look at me and laugh. I just pointed to myself and said, "That's me." And later, when I was making a statement about the penal gland in the brain, the class didn't get it and assumed it was somehow related to the penis--and that was after I'd made a comment about biased reporting and quoted a sexist statement in a book that involved the word Penis. I don't know how it all happened, but it all came together somehow that all my class comments centered around sex. C'est la vie.

Vancouver was perfect. The weather was warm with bright blue sky each day and all the flowers in full bloom. Vancouver has enormous Rhododendron and Azalea bushes--so lovely. Peter's Mom, sister Grace and brothers Rob and Bruce flew into Van, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to join the celebration. The girls were thrilled to see their relatives again and had lots of fun. We received VIP seating at the Chan Centre and had the best seats in the house for watching the convocation--Peter works with some of the graduation organizers on senate and I guess they like him! Pip slept through the ceremony. We managed a quick swim at the hotel but other than that we were busy visiting with the Arthur relatives and attending the ceremony. 

Oh, we did stop by IKEA on our way home but hardly picked up anything--save huge stuffies for the girls (like they need ANY more stuffies)! Bruce is out with the gals as I write this--Girl's day out with Uncle Bruce--should I be frightened? So far we know that they went to  I-Hop for breakfast and then to the beach. It is so hot toady in Kelowna--feels near 30 oC. We have the air on.
