I downloaded this application because I have a need to try new things. I am always looking for a better/easier way to do things, much to the dismay of all around me.
This new application is an addon for MS Outlook. It sits as a sidebar and analyzes who sends you email, who you send to, who is on those.
Try it. It is a handy app.
Makes searching for people and email easier, makes finding attachments easier.

Carolyne took the day off work.
Emma had to work from 4:30 - 8:00.
Andrew had a call-up soccer game (a team older or better than his, can call up boys from his team to play if they are going to be short players) - the third time for this one team. Three is the limit per team, so he will not be able to play for them again this year.
We started pulling weeds from the interlock in the driveway then called a guy to see how much he would charge to do it properly and refill and repair it. -- he starts next week :)
We were invited to attend the Toronto semifinals of this new contest/TV show.
It was interesting and for the last bit we were sitting in the front row. The kids who did not get to go onto the finals were quite upset and crying. Very sad.
I am not sure why parents put them through this.
The finals are thanksgiving weekend in Halifax and the show will air sometime after that.

This is Finney. He is the new puppy's Daddy. We met him at the theatre last Friday. Quite the coincidence.
Have you figured it out yet?
Do you care?

My sister was woken by a thud at about 4 am. She thought someone had fallen out of bed. She woke her husband. She checked and all were sound asleep.
Found out that there had been these huge explosions at 4 am in Downsview at a propane plant. We are in Oakville approx 30 km away!!!
