Floor Hockey is BACK!
Answer: I wouldn't know. Instead 14 of us got together to submit a team. We're not the city's elite floor hockey people but we have a lot of fun. AND.... I think we might just do quite well this year. With the addition of Tracey (who had a goal in her 1st game), Mark (who had 2 goals in his 1st game), Glen (who backstopped us to Victory!), and Cathy and Georgia (they missed game #1 so we'll see their stuff in Game 2), I think we're poised to do well this Fall season.
First game: Win 12-5.
Stay tuned for updates on the next game.

17Sept2006-JulieEricAberdeen
Homecoming 2006 was a great time! Julie came down from Belleville and we whooped it up. Here's Julie and I walking the in the Aberdeen Street party with our jackets. The frosh loved us! (Special thank to Erin for letting us use her camera.... I wouldn't take my camera into this crazy party! YIKES!) The party went surprisingly well I thought. The cops had the streets barricaded very well. Volunteer alumni went up and down the street collecting beer bottles to minimize glass on the road. Free water and cups were distributed by volunteers and from a special tent on the street. Everyone was really organized and that made things seem a lot safer this year. Kudos to everyone who worked hard, including the dozens of cops we saw out last night. The crowd was estimated at over 8,000+ people! WOW!

CHEERS!!!!!!!! Some big whigs came out to party too. Here's Mayor Harvey Rosen partying with the best of them. Way to go BigHarv!
17Sept2006-Aberdeen
It was wall-to-wall people on Aberdeen Street! Here's the intersection of Aberdeen and William Streets.

Whe're not sure why there was a bagel participating in the street party this year? However, Homecomming doesn't discriminate! Go bagel Go!
17Sept2006-HomecomingFootball3
Julie and I went to the homecoming football game. The Gaels lost a close on 22-18 to a great Windsor Lancers team. The weather was great and the students were out in full force. Here's a shot of the stands on the student side.
17Sept2006-HomecomingFootball2
As per normal, the students rushed the field at half time and proceded to beat their jackets on the group. It was chaos. Luckily it only lasted about 5 minutes and things were quickly brought back to order in time for the second half of the game.
17Sept2006-HomecomingFootball1
The cheerleaders were awesome. I wish I would have had my camera with me for the game. The camera this photo was taken with is Erin's. It's a good point and shoot camera 9don't get me wrong); however, with my Canon 30D I could have really taken great shots of these cheerleaders. They flipped and tossed each other in the air like crazy the entire game (so it's a photographer's field day!) but I could never really get a well timed shot with this point and shoot camera. This is the best one I could get.

Erin and I went out last night to take some night pics of the Fall fair. Here's my best one. It's the Ferris Wheel. Cool!

Here's the stop light at the intersection of Consession and Alfred. Six second exposure.... timed perfectly thanks to Erin on the stop watch!
