Well, so much for that. Ben was the big winner again last night and I hope he takes good care of my money back at Carleton. So the question now is - does he come to Missy to train or to augment his bank account?
Later, the Mullet Man kicked myin PGA golf . I packed it in after that but not before I added some smooth new moves to my avatar. Karl requested that she do more jumping up and down since she's well-endowed. He also made some suggestions about possible wardrobe changes which I thought was just weird. What is it with boys and animated women? The subject of adolescent crushes on cartoons came up at work one day and the guys were like, "What? No way, that's just twisted" and I said, not even with like Daphne on Scooby-doo or Jessica Rabbit? All together they went, "Oh yeah but they're HOT". ...right. my mistake...

I had breakfast at Helen's with L.Tuts, the 2 juniors and auntie K.T. on Sunday morning. H.T. chats up a storm now and "okey-dokey" is the favourite phrase for both kids. We were checking out J.T.'s hockey cards and when I asked him to tell me Lindros' stats, H.T. corrected me, "It's ERIC!". I guess Eric's got a fan!

Last night was Carrie Lightbound-Buday's retirement party at the Cue. Hard to think of someone retiring from anything at the age of 25...except in sport. A lot of people were there from all over to celebrate Carrie's career with the National Canoe/Kayak
team.
It was especially great to see everyone from the band. Former V.O.C. frontman, Kris Sziraki tells me he's playing bass for a new band at work. If he told me the band name, I've forgotten it (which has nothing to do with the kamikazes we were drinking since those came much later in the evening). Anyway, I hope to hear a recording sometime soon because if Kris says they're good (which he does) they must be!

So the party was great, everyone looked fabulous and I think Carrie is excited about the prospect of what's on the horizon. Congrats on all those years of great racing!
There was an attempt to get a poker game going after the bar but it didn't quite get off the ground. Carrie, Maclean Alyson C-W (who drove up from Ottawa) decided to call it a night and that left the 3 guys who only played one game. Apparently young Ben R. took everyone's cash. Eve, Katy and I ended the night at Gino's Pizza gossiping and eating dried-up, overheated slices.

At the moment, I'm listening to Erasure, waiting for a poker game to come together. I can hear AKJ, Atti and Ben at the door and I am ready to go rake in the chips...

Okay, I've resisted blogging for awhile because I though it might be just an extended version of the dreaded "Christmas Letter". However, I've enjoyed being able to keep up with the Sunfish's adventures in B.C. so I'm giving it a shot.
I decided to go with our band's name for the title even though we don't actually play together anymore. The original members are spread around the GTA but a least we're all on one continent again. More on the band later.
I think the legal department of Bu-Bound & Associates has to get signed waivers from the rest of the guys before I can upload some audio files.
