More on Christmas – the Christmas lights came out of storage today and will go up tomorrow. They will be already for Karen's daughters and grandchildren's visit over Christmas. Also; while we are on the Christmas theme: HATS have closed their Agape address in Florida. All mail and Christmas cards will need to be electronic or go to the Yarmouth, NS address on the web page.
Karen, the mother, not Karen the school administrator, was summoned to the school this morning. The birthday boy Moise is not doing very well in school. He would rather play hockey and soccer than study. I hope he doesn’t see this blog, but so would I. Anyway, I am sure Moise’s life is about to change until his grades improve. Education is too important to waste, especially in Haiti. The kids are very well disciplined and behaved and this will be good for Moise in the long term.

I got day parole for good behavior this morning for 2 hours. Yeah, first time off the compound in a week! Accompanied by my parole officer, Karen and armed escort, Richard we made a trip to St. Marc and the bank. Traffic was not too bad and the bank wasn’t busy either. The legal withdrawal was in American and Haitian dollars. Except; there is no such thing as Haitian dollars, just the Gourde which is 1/8th of an American Dollar. Go figure……
We returned to some odd jobs, homework then a hockey game. That was interrupted by Karen and an ice cream treat and cake for everyone. We were celebrating another birthday. Moise turned 11 today. Good times!!

Keith I am glad you went to the bank today as payday is tomorrow and you are in charge of paying them and then doing up the payroll for the 30th for employees at HATS again and all the school teachers. I am sure you have that all in hand by now. Did you say ice cream?? Ice cream?? I have never seen ice cream in Haiti, oh what a treat that must be! Give Moise birthday greetings from us.
Good Blog. Happy Birthday to Moise, you better do your lessons and study or someday you will be in the same grade as Jofky.
Oops.
Looks like Moise is a bad influence on me instead of me being a positive one on him..... Karen did the payroll while I was playing hockey yesterday!!!
I'm not helping pay off my IOU am I?
That IOU doesn't have many more days left on it. Hopefully she will get full payment today with the Christmas lights etc.
