CD release

Nick officially released his “Like a Child” CD at Saint FM…about time, as it’s been slowly trickling onto the market, but the general populace doesn’t know much about it. All proceeds of the album go to the rockfall fund, which I think is the only reason that Nick was willing to discuss the album on the radio – he hates promoting himself. He was able to go on Tammy’s afternoon show which was great, as it meant not being asked inane questions about the CD, or the meaning of the lyrics etc. Tammy could give him a sensitive interview and allow him to liberally discuss matters! Along with the CD, they also chatted about island issues, like the lack of discipline among the kids in the high school etc.

We were no sooner home than Claire phoned, wanting to know if the boys were going to “Beavers”. This is the youngest age of the Scouts – Beavers, then Cubs, then Scouts. Until a few weeks ago I had no idea that such a group existed – we had been told that boys could join when they are 8, so perhaps Beavers is new. Anyway, Tom is now a Beaver, and since Claire is going to town anyway to take him, she graciously gives Caleb and Aaron a lift as well. This evening they had a swim-meet, doing relay races across the width of the pool. The boys came home enthusiastically describing what had gone on, and it sounds like they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My little Beavers!
