Magic!

Normally my weekends are not very exciting because I work Friday and Saturday evenings, and because I am old and tired. But this weekend was a little more fun, so I will tell you about it.

On Friday night, I went to see David Copperfield, the magician, do his magical wonders. We used to watch his TV specials when I was a kid, so when a friend told me he was coming to town, we had to go. I have to say I left feeling pretty empty inside. Not because it was a bad show, but because I wanted to know how he does all that. And I wanted to see more magic. He's a great performer - very funny, and very good at magic, of course. He made a car appear out of thin air, he made neckties sing and dance, he walked through a gigantic fan, he made a whole group of people disappear... I want to learn magic now, just to find out how these illusions work, but I don't think those secrets are easy to discover.

Speaking of magic, I went shopping with my sister today... we can be in the exact same store, in the exact same area, and she will come up with the most amazing finds. I come up with nothing. How does she do that? I don't know. I think it's because when it comes to shopping, she has much more patience and determination than I do. She is slowly teaching me how to be a better shopper, and when I graduate from college and get a great job, I will be able to put these skills to good use. For now, she can buy me things, which for some reason she has been insisting on lately. It's honestly been her idea, not mine! I love spending time with my sister, but she lives in Kelowna so I don't see her very often. Actually, all of my brothers and sisters live in different cities, so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like. But the nice thing about family is that even if you don't see them for months, when you do get together, you can pretty much pick up where you left off.

Bye for now,
