So many updates, so little time!

The last few days have been jammed packed with fun stuff. In reverse chronological order... here goes.

Monday: WOW! The Juncos are here! The Juncos are here! Last year I saw my first Dark Eyed Junco in my backyard on April 9th. This year it's on March 26th. Fully 2 weeks early. Holy Global Warming! YIKES! I spotted 5 Juncos today in my garden. Super cute!

Sunday: Awesome Frontenacs Playoff Game. Erin and I joined 3,100+ of out closest friends to take in the Frontenacs lose their second straight playoff game to Oshawa. It was an exciting game that I would ave paid double to see. It was a 'barn-burner' with a final score of 7-6 for Oshawa with the wining goal scored 6 minutes into Overtime. The Fronts dominated the first two period and after 2period the score was 6-2 Frontenacs. (It could have been 8-2 as the Fronts hit a cross bar and a post on two shots in the second). But for some reason the Frontenacs stopped attacking in the 3rd period and it was all Oshawa. They clawed back and scored 4 un-answered goals. Wow! Impressive. A very exciting overtime finish left the home team pretty dejected I can imagine. They've really dug themselves a hole now. Down 2 in a best of 7. Cross you fingers that they can stage a comeback.

Saturday: Maple Madness and Movie Night! In the morning, Julie, Ken, Terry, Michelle and the kids joined Erin and I for some Maple Madness at the Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area. We took the puppy dogs for the 2x 2.5 kilometer walk and they got super-muddy. Good times when couple with a round of very yummy pancakes! (*YUM YUM *) I'm a sucker for maple syrup. Saturday night was Movie Night. Erin and I saw Office Space and the Departed. Both excellent. I recommend them both.

Friday Night: Wii at Siobhan's and Cory. In a word: AWESOME! We had a great time with Tiff, Wayne, Wendy and Jen. (Jen had to leave a bit early... she wasn't feeling 100%). Not only did Siobhan and Cory make a fantabulous dinner but the entertainment was very, very.... I mean very FUN! Nintendo Wii. If you haven't heard about it then Google it. It's awesome. We played Golf, Bowling, Tennis and by the end of it I was totally drunk and sweating from all exercise I was getting from jumping around. The next day I felt like buying one... it is totally FUN! I guess I'll save my money for one someday HAHA

David Usher in Concert!

The Joy Luck Supper Club hosted David Usher in concert last night. It was quite the intimate affair with both David's parents being there as well. Great concert as usual and it was fun to hang out with Jen and Tony. (Two pregnant ladies at a concert! CrAzY!) Jen's a huge fan David Usher fan too! Erin and I bought the new CD. Can't wait to listen to the whole thing.

Hot Off the Presses!

St. Patrick's Day at the Toucan was a HUGE success. 11 people began the marathon at 10am and most made through all day. Erin and I packed it in at 5:30pm. 7 and a half hours at the Toucan: that's a good days work! For me the highlight of the day was Jimmy Zackos and his Voodoo Doll! Tooo funny. You had to be there. Awesome good time!

Kingston Canadian Film Festival

We caught four films at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival over the weekend. As usual they rocked!

The Shorts Package: included 9 short films that were really entertaining. Especially the Danish Poet. I can see why it won an academy award. Awesome. A+

Fido: The best time I ever had watching blood and gore! It's being released in theatres accross Canada this week. Funny Stuff! Very Funny! Three Thumbs Up. A+

Snow Cake: Excellent film about an autistic woman. Sygourney Weaver and Alan Rickman were perfect together. In a word: Dazlious! A+

The White Planet: Documentary about the North Pole. Awesome footage but lacked a little on the narative I found. I kept wanting the film to talk about global warming and it's impact on the arctic. They did touch upon the subject but it seemed like an afterthought. B+

This festival is great! We go every year.

UFC at Seb & Tracey's

We had a really fun night last night at a UFC party at Seb & Tracey's. Loads of people came you: Rob x2, Michelle, Erin, Eric, Seb, Tracey, Jen, Alex, Glenn, Robyn, Renee, Mike, Christa and Kevin. It was a super fun crowd. It started with beers and snacks, followed by a few rounds of asshole, where 'yours truly', (that would be me...Eric) went from Asshole to President at a table with 8 people in 5 hands! NICE! I still got it baby HAHA!

And then the fights came on, people only took breaks from the TV to do shooters with Rob who's a master-shooter-maker. I was impressed with Seb and the flaming sambucas too. The fire alarm almost went off but that's ok... it was worth it HAHA!

Of course some Ultimate Drinking took place too. By the end of the night some people where feeling no pain. (**giggle**)

After spending a day "researching" Internet cartoonists, I was inspired to create this cartoon describing my life!

TremblayBaby-02Mar07-20wks-3D-Head

Erin has her 20 week ultrasound today and it went really well. Heart rate is 150 bpm. Everything looked really good. The technician had a chance to run a 3D image of the face for us. The baby is so cute holding his/her hand up to his/her chin like that. I call him/her "The Thinker" HAHA! Thanks to Michelle for coming with us this morning.

The baby is getting bigger!!!!!!!!!!!!

We tied! What a close game!

With half our team present, we hussled like crazy and managed a tie against the 2nd place team in the league. 7-7 ... NICE! Glenn played awesome in goal even though he didn't even have a glove! Wild! Maybe that's the key to his success. I even scored the game tieing goal... off a beautiful pass from Mike. Two games in a row that I score. Lucky ;-)
