Halloween on Wolfe Island
Friday night was another display of diabolic costuming by the residents of Wolfe Island. The General Wolfe Hotel hosted another successful Halloween Party with the soundtrack provided by our good friends RWI. (They played at our wedding!) Let me set the scene. Last year... Erin was shut out of the pirzes for the first time in 3 years! So this year, she worked on her constume. She was a black angel. Complete with full-sized feathered wings and black fuzzy halo. It was awesome. I joined her in similar garb, except I was the white angel! My costume was aided by Dr. Merry's closet: I 'borrowed' a classy white leather belt and some lovely Rockport geriatric cream shoes. Too funny! Now, I know a picture is worth a thousand words; however, we were having such a good time we g=forgot to take a picture of ourselves. DAMMIT! Mustafa was taking pictures, so we'll try to work on him to get a picture of us. We looked really neat... neat enough to win a prize!!!! We won 4th prize (honorable mention). YEAH! Erin is vindicated HAHAHAHAHA
Ok, well, the story isn't finished yet. We haven't even mentioned Julie. Well, crazy as usual when it comes to Halloween costumes, she worked very hard on building a constume that represented Avian Flu. Picture it: white bathrobe, trimmed with fluffy white feathers, yellow felt cone hat, feathers flying out of it, yellow rubber gloves strapped to her feet and a medical mask on her face. Jeeeeeez! Now picture this: Julie was basically falling on the floor coughing all night at the bar. HAHAHA! It was totally gross. BUT....it totally WON! She won 1st Place in this year's costume constest! WOWOWOWOWOW! Amazing. Great night on the Island overall!
Now we had a good time dressing Julie up before the party so we do have a picture of her. Check it out below.

Yup. We are. Married. Yup. Yes. Uh-huh. Did it. Done. And boy was it fun! It was soooo fun. I'm so tired now though, I don't have the energy to give the entire story. (Hey... NEWSFLASH... if you are reading this, have energy and went to the wedding... click the 'comment' word below and leave your story! It would be much appreciated.) As the photos come rolling in, I'll also post tons of them online both here and on my Flickr account. If you've got a particularly good picture, please email it to me. I'd love to have them.
Thanks to everyone that made our day great. Without all of you, it wouldn't have been the success it was. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Poker Stag Night!
Last night was very, very… I mean VERY fun. To my surprised my poker crew organized a little bit of a different poker night. First off there were 3 people in attendance, which were out of context, Big Al, Mike and Rob from Floor hockey were there. Very cool! Flo, Seb, Tracey, Leo, Alex B. (aka Little Alex)… the regulars…. were there. So I got there and we broke out the girlie cards…. They just added an extra dimension of fun to the game…. Personally, I’ll never look at the 8 of clubs the same way again HAAHAHAHA! (but I digress...)
Now, the poker setup included two new prizes. Bottles of Booze! Crown Royal and a Dark Rum. Nice! Seb started the evening by declaring that the poker pot would be split 70%-30% among the top two winners and those two winners would also each get one bottle of booze. Neat twist I thought. I still don’t know who sprung for the booze. Whoever did… many thanks!!! Anyway, as usually the game unfolded beautifully. Lots of ‘all ins’ near the end too. I love it. I made it to the top three and the game came to a grinding halt. Seb declared that it was time to reveal the true guise of the evening. It turns out that before I arrived, everyone decided that whatever the outcome of the game, I would get the full pot! HOLY SHIT! ... I mean HOLY WOW! ... was I ever humbled by this. It was a very nice gesture of my friends to do (and if any of you are reading this…. I thank you very much…I really appreciate the sentiment…. The pot cash went right into our honeymoon fund). This wasn’t a trivial amount of money either. It had grown with the nightly buy-ins to $205! Holy Smokes. Nice Pot! The game resumed. I promptly went “all in” and lost. Congrats to Little Alex (1st) and Leo (2nd) who brought home the hard liquor! Yeehaaa! Thanks again everyone!!!! I cheers my Stripper Mug to you!

Floor Hockey Update!
Oh man was last night's game awesome. It came down to a tie... 6-6. Everyone played awesome and special credit has to go out to Erin, Michelle and Melissa. Only 3 girls showed up for the game and these 3 played like professionals. Having many shots of goal and orchestrating several amazing defensive plays. Kudos to the girls!!!
PS: Special thanks to the waitress at the Rose & Crown in the township. The snacks were yummy!
