Wow! What a tremendous show of support for such a great cause. Because of your donations, my original goal was completely destroyed! I’ve surpassed the original $500 goal, and upped it to $750. Well, that $750 goal has come and gone, and now I’ve set a new goal, and I’m hoping that those of you who have not yet donated can help me hit the $1000 mark!
$1000 will…
- teach 25 families how to save a life with CPR;
- teach 30 classrooms of children the foundation for heart-healthy living with the HeartSmart Kids program;
- administer 2 Automated External Defibrillator training courses that could save lives; or
- equip a doctor with a blood pressure monitor to help keep patients healthy.
Please have your donation completed on this Sunday (June 5) as I’m doing the ride on June 6.

If you’ve already donated, I just want you to know how much I appreciate it. Those of you who have not donated, it’s not too late. In either event, please pass this on to everyone you know.
Remember, donations over $10 will receive a tax receipt.
Thank you so much for your amazing response!

As of this evening, the Toronto Maple Leafs (err.. Laughs) are at the bottom of the NHL with a 0-6 record to start off the 2009 season.
I know the real reason why the Leafs franchise was against moving an NHL team to Hamilton. They were worried that a new team would win the Stanley Cup before them!
Leafs, you’re my home team. I love you guys. I’ve paid a lot of money in the past for seats to the games. But I’m losing faith in you.
I’ve decided that I’m going to have a rally-beard. I’m not going to shave until the Leafs win 1 game in the regular season. I haven’t shaved since October 8. I guess the beard is better than what some people do during playoffs – not changing or washing their socks or shirts – gross AND stinky!
Anyways, if anyone wants to see me clean shaven, it looks like it’s going to be in a few weeks at this rate!

So the 2009 baseball season has come to a close this evening. This year was filled with a lot of drama, many losses, arguments, people quitting, and more losses.
I would say the biggest problem lies with personality conflicts, and those disturbances between just a couple of players is what brought down the moral across the board.
As for me, I feel that I did as well as I could have. I got many RBI’s, lots of hits, and made many great plays.
I finished off the season going 4 for 5, and bringing in 5 RBI’s. My last at bat I pounded the ball over the outfielder and made it to the fence – 2 RBI’s and a standing double.
So as the story goes, I’m now a free agent, and I’m being scouted by 2 other leagues. 1 is in Thornhill, and the other in Toronto.
I’ll have to weigh the options, and make my decision fairly soon. At the moment, I’m leaning towards the Thornhill league – but who knows..

He shoots, he scores!
‘Green Machine’ won their first game of the second round by a massive 9-4 victory. I had a great goal – picked up the puck on a drop-pass, held it and slapped it in the top corner, from 25-ft out and through a crowd of 8 players. I also managed to get two assists. Go #9!
Congrats team, and on to game 2 next week.
