St.Jean comes to Kingston

I just spent a couple of fun days interacting with my colleagues and friends in St.Jean. Sunday night dinner at Kelsey's, Monday during the day workshop at the Base, Monday night Indian food at Darbar. Now I'm sooooooooooooooooo tired I could sleep for a day. Well, I guess that's what Tuesday's were made for (*grin*)

Fronts vs. St. Mike's!

The good guys prevail on Friday night with 41 - 24 shots and a final score of 3-1. The funniest part was the musical seats that Michelle and I played during the game. In the second period we got ourselves right behind the glass at the Frontenacs bench! Awesome! Best $11 seat in the house (*grin*) If only Michelle would stop breaking the wooden seats at the aerna though... it's so embarassing (*LOL*)

Erin's in Toronto

Erin's in Toronto for 2.5 days for a conference. Hmm... what kind of trouble should I get into while she's away? Any suggestions?

Friday night was fun and a half!

So...Erin, Michelle and I went out to the Sports for a Fat City Burger. We saw good old Barb there! She's a hoot! The Fat City was dreamy! Every once in awhile it feels so good to eat a hamburger that has a pork-chop on it!!!! (*hahaha*) The two pints of beer were great too. Michelle was graciously driving so I wasn't hesitating to partake in the festivities. On our way over to the Toucan afterwards we got a call from Jen. It turns out Joanne and her were in a car accident leaving Napanee to go to Toronto. Luckily no one was hurt but the snowy road conditions really made driving dicey. Needless to say they aborted their trip to Toronto and Jen said she’d try to get out to the Toucan later that night. So we landed at the Toucan and joined the Friday night crew over some beers. Jen showed up and Erin ordered some nachos… we weren’t hungry but they were so yummy! Michelle called it a night shortly after 9pm and the place was starting to thin out a bit. We struck up a conversation with two friendly guys at the table beside us. It turns out one of them was from K-town and the other was from Calgary. They were very friendly and they proceeded to buy multiple rounds of shooters for the lot of us including Dan the bartender!!! Polar Bears or something. Boy they were yummy-licious! We then walked up to the Grizzly Grill to play some pool... and have more drinks!!! A good time was had by all! It was such a “good time” for me that I had lay low the next day to recover from my handover… I think I had 12 drinks that night! UGH! HAHAHA!

Check out what your Shopper's Optimum Points can buy!

Only $29+50,000 pts! Sweet! Erin loves her's! (*grin*)

Derailed!

Special thanks to Joanne for the passes to Derailed. This newly released movie with Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen was awesome. Both Erin and I were really surprised at how good movie it was. I give it a strong B+! However, if you go take a peek at its entry on Yahoo Movies you'll see that the movie is getting considerably crappier reviews. I wonder why? Has anyone else seen it? What did you think and how would you rate it?

Thursday night in St-Jean at the TDE/EDO mini-conference we had a great time. Largely due in part to Ross' awesome piano playing. The beer flowed, the singers sang and the people even danced. We had a great time indeed!!! 

Mike and Regan played some pool. 

Everybody was there. Here's Theane, Mike and Scott. 

Robert was hamming it up for the girls...cane in hand. 

Ross played some fast song like "the twist" and we all got up to dance! 

Robert Susan and Len loves to gather around the piano. 

Len had loads of fun singing! 

Robert started stripping on the piano!!! Woohooo! 

Here's me as the Jolly Gay Giant! HAHAHA! It was a pretty fun time at the CDA/DCS joint Haloloween party! DCS won the contest due to our better and crazier constumes. 

Halloween at CDA ... That's Christine as the Gireau [sp?] Too cool!  

Halloween at Andy and Kathy's place. MacKenize looks like a dwarf Ozzie Osbourne! HAHA! 

Halloween on the Wlfe Island Ferry! I'm a BIG FAN of Alex's running shoes! 

Julie's kitty Sid is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Cute! 

Off to Montreal

Just a little update to say I'm off to Montreal for the rest of the week for a meeting. Joy! I hope I can use this time away from my computer to forget about all my schoolwork, my teaching and my job! I need a day off dammit!!! HAHA!
