From the “Algonquin Review” Dept.”

Hey guys,

My brother, Win, his girlfriend, Jean, and Jen and I were in Algonquin this Labour Day weekend.

We did a pretty easy hike of 23 Km over 3 days (two nights). Pretty relaxing.

Nothing like when I was there in April.

Probably the most interesting thing was that I was attacked by a very large and aggressive dragon-fly (about 10 cm long…).

I screamed like a little girl.

Photos are pending.

From a “New addition to the Toh Clan” Dept.

With the mention of the word “girl”, I would like to inform you that I now have a new first cousin.

Samantha Hong Sum Toh was born Sunday, September 01, 2002 at 2:07 pm. She weighs in at a whopping 2 lbs 3 oz.

Yes, 2 lbs 3 oz.

She was over 2 months premature.

However, she has all 10 fingers and 10 toes.

She’s also the first female cousin on my dad’s side.

She’s really, really tiny, has a whole bunch of tubes sticking out of her, and will be living in an incubator for the next 2 months, but after that, she should be fine and dandy.

Photos are pending.

Cheers,

Tai
