Bits and Pieces

The women's practice was great this morning and I think it had a lot to do with Jackie being back in the boat! Also, everyone's really excited about our first race together in Pickering this weekend and that translates into power on the water.

Welcome to Chrissy who visited VOC for the first time and already holds the record for the most time spent reading! I'll have to find a suitably embarrassing photo to put up (jj). Oh and a guest shout out to Dave (who, according to his blog, lost his underwear at the Wayne Gretzky Centre last night. You can see his comment attached to this post. Be nice - he thought we were rowers.)

Check out the new link to the right. Guy Petzall is a prolific letter writer, asking the questions you'd never ask (why don't we milk pigs - they lactate too!), of the people you'd never contact (the Illinois Pork Producers, the Pope, the Simpson's), getting the responses you'd never expect.

Boygroove - Definitely worth seeing. Great choice Jackie! The Toronto run ends on June 4th but I suspect they'll bring it back. It's a funny, funny production with fantastic, talented actors. It helped that one of the characters is a ringer for Scott and after we'd determined that...well it was just that much funnier. Now, whenever I pass Scotty out on the water at Sunnyside, standing at the front of his dragonboat, hip-bucking in time to the stroke...aaahhaaha... I'm sorry...I have to take a moment here....the tears... it's just too much....

Okay, so what else? Carrie and Attila have a new family member! Lola, the cutest puppy ever. She's an English Bulldog - incredibly strong-willed and confident for a 13-week old. Carrie just sent some photos - see what I mean? Cute!
