Grey Cup Sunday

Well grey cup sunday just aint the same when the eskies are out of the race. But I am awake and plan on watching the game anyway. I think I will be cheering for Montreal, as I never have been a Lions fan, and well Montreal is one hell of a city.

The Oilers scraped out a win last night, in a crazy shoot out. Linny said it felt like the whole shootout took place at a really bad rave. I guess thats a pretty good analogy. Like a bad rave it seemed to go on for ever, and it was an emotional rollercoaster. I guess all that was missing was the smell of dirty bathrooms, and people sweating everywhere. But I am sure that had i been in Rexall that would not have been hard to find.

On a more personal note I started back into the gym on friday. I took out a new membership at Golds gym. It is a pretty nice gym. Lots of equipment, TV's on every cardio machine, a steam room, Tanning and a little juice bar. So I think the road to getting back in shape should be a good one. I am going to stick with the same routine I used last time I lost the old poundage. But my goal will be a little quicker, because I have done it once before. I weighed in at a whopping 184 and my goal is 175 by christmas and a steady 160 by easter. Which I think is totally do-able.

Yesterday I had some people over for a poker game which turned out to be a pretty good time. In attendance we had Mike (my neighbor), Rob (my neighbor), Brad Bell 1.0 and Brad Bell 3.1 (from Crush), CJ (from Crush) and his wife, Bish (from Crush) and Marc (from Wawanesa,). It was an unlikely outcome with me placing 3rd, CJ in 2nd, and Brad Bell 3.1. I am pretty sure that Brad Bell has played a little more poker than he led on.

Last but not least and extended and belated birthday to Wayner. Sounds like you guys had a good time on Friday. I hear Gin-Ryan was in fine form. Hope 26 is as adventuresome as 25.
