The Oiler Fan
Amazing. Absolutely Astonishing. Awesome. Oiler flag flying from my car in Antigua, Guatemala on May 28, ’06. I’ll be listening to the game tomorrow night online. You can see Oiler fans all over the world here.

Oh man! This is too much to handle as the only Edmonton Oiler fan that I know for thousands of miles. I can’t wait to check the scores online every second day to see if Edmonton won or not. I was blown away after they beat out first place Detroit, then beating out 5th place … [Read more…]
Pocketmod Runner
Kevin, you genius. Thanks for changing my life with the introduction of this pocketmod thing. I’ve been doing push-ups, sit-ups, practicing guitar, drinking water, keeping my closet tidy, keeping better track of my spending, video editing, learning more Spanish vocab and verbs all because of this sweet disposable PDA. Unfortunately, some of the editing components … [Read more…]
This is just like my old journals
One of my life goals is to keep a daily journal for 5 years. I have attempted this goal at least 10 times. Inevitably I get 2 days behind and spend half an hour trying to recollect those 2 days. This exhausts some cortex in my head so that by the time I get at … [Read more…]
Love, White Balls, and Queen Elizabeth II
Ah! People in love. We spent a good portion of Saturday with our newly engaged friends Sabrina and Trent. Sabrina’s sister Myra was married in a tiny ceremony back in October and her reception was held on Sunday. The sisters were nice and emotional during the toast. I recall my sister’s wedding – I had … [Read more…]
3-2-1 Warriors
My junior boys team made it to the finals and rocked the other team to the point a parent and the coach of the other team were screaming at the ref (a high school student). If only I was there. So our boys got silver, much better than the shame the gold medalist team now … [Read more…]
Terry Fox Run
I ran with my iPod in my hand and the memory of Stephanie in my head. The course began at the Pioneer Centre in Spruce Grove. A woman shared at the departure ribbon about how her friend just passed away on Friday of Cancer and how her husband currently has it. It was touching to … [Read more…]
Cards, Kydds, Cinema, Cardiovascular
Alan, Randy and Nic came out Saturday and we enjoyed homemade mint ice cream, sparkling French grape juice and my new game courtesy of 5040 Garnier. It took us a while to get into the groove of the game because it’s so new to us. I’ve downloaded a computerized version of Tarot (not the tea … [Read more…]
Ballet and Beer or Dancing and Hops
I had such a wonderful time tonight. Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal put on a free performance of Minus One in Parc Lafontaine. Kevin stood in line for us and seven of us sat in the very centre of the stands and watched about ten different dances. It was amazingly choreographed with fabulous soundtracks. … [Read more…]
Camping in the 21st Century
So we drive to Mont Tremblant after spending the night at a full facility campground. I just want to climb a mountain, but no one else in the park seems to want to. People can take an air car up the green ski slope mountain or pay $11 to hang out by the lake. I … [Read more…]
