  1. I got $100 that says he doesn't surface till that Toronto $50 mill deal of his is closer to fully expiring.
  2. Its July 30, I have the day off. And there is frickin hockey on, my two favorite teams. How good is that!
  3. I had a girlfriend Diana once? We broke up when I moved to Van. She moved to Thompson. Had a couple of visits together after. I tried arrange a trip for her to Burnaby? She sent me a picture of her thermometer. It was -50 Celsius. I realized it was done and over!
  4. We are playing the Jets, My 2knd favorite team now, who I grew up cheering for. Wanted to share this...
  5. I guess cancer can be very unrelenting? https://globalnews.ca/news/7219226/dale-hawerchuk-cancer/ Its a bright sunny day where I am right now. When I grew up in the 'Peg Dale Hawerchuk was my absolute hero! Dale, coach of the Barrie Colts, just finished chemotherapy. But has had a recurrence of ongoing stomach cancer. I am not sure I believe in prayer as some do? But I do believe in extending wishes! Its winter where I live. I closed my eyes and felt the suns warmth on my eyelids. I believe people can feel that warmth when they hopefully know others are thinking of them? I wish Dale the absolute best! https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/multimedia/fp-slideshow/Loooking-back-The-Blizzard-of-1986-400304361.html A story; when I had my first real job? I worked a few blocks up Portage ave from the old arena. A few Jets were the businesses regular customers. I sold things to guys like Randy Carlisle. True story; I sold a Bose stereo, set it up at his house to Jim Kyte. Its funny because Jim was deaf. But he also had friends over, wanted to entertain. Had a beer served to me and Dave Ellett while I set it up. Jim brought Dale in one day. Of course my boss jumped in. He dealt with all the ''stars.'' But Dale came over and had a laugh with me. He thought it was hilarious! Told me some gags they played on Jim who was everyone's fave, chatted. Nothing really about hockey. There was a huge storm weeks earlier, worst in 50 years that literally shut the city down? We were just in the first few days open. I mentioned I had moved into my first house the day before the storm. Wind had blown snow and completely covered my porch, front & side doors. I climbed out a second floor window onto the porch, jumped into the snowbank just to get out. Started clearing snow. He topped my story, said they played (think Rangers?) and he picked up other players on his way in from Tuxedo (or wherever it was he lived) on his snowmobile the night of the storm. Then days after everybody banding together, digging each other out. Dale laughed again, wished me luck & shook my hand. I remember to this day how nice these guys were to me! Maybe this could be a forum to wish well to anyone suffering right now? Who was nice to you... Feeling down because your at home, maybe not working. Lost a loved one, or someone is suffering? I feel the warmth of sun for you too, and hope it brightens your day...
  6. LOL, early life as “Scrambled eggs, oh, my baby, how I love your legs…”
  7. The Melbourne outbreak, now part of a $3 million dollar judicial inquiry? We jumped from 8 cases a day to 500 & as many as 10 deaths a day... Is widely being reported a result of am even more shocking indiscretion. Oversea's Aussies (no one else allowed) returning from oversea's? Had to quarantine in guarded hotels. Two guards at a hotel had sex with the people they were guarding. Who turned out to be positive. Went home to their partners. One who worked in a meat factory, the other in aged care. Who started circulating to church, healthy folks you know? Visiting friends at apartment towers, etc, etc, etc. Its being blamed for a complete re emergence of the virus. All non essential workers being locked at home, complete shut down of all restaurants, businesses, way of life. Tens of thousands of people back out of work, billions of dollars of impact to the economy? And the sick & dying! https://www.forbes.com/sites/tamarathiessen/2020/07/07/australia-coronavirus-melbourne-lockdown-hotel-sex-scandal/#3c0662c7131d
