Long Lost Memories of Les Miz

If you have been following the Susan Boyle storyline that I started on the my last entry, you will understand why I have been lost in the listening of the wonderful music from the Les Miserables musical on my computer. The music brought back fond memories when Julie and I saw the production live when it first came to Toronto. Now how long ago was that? Pre-kids I suppose. If I recall correctly, we went with Morgan and Francis (thanks!) who, I believe, both bought the tickets for us ... anniversary present?

Now to come think of it, we also saw the Phantom as well ... what happened to that cultured couple?

Listen to This

I heard about this lady named Susan Boyle on the news and decided to Google her. It led me to a You Tube video link and it was quite inspiring to learn and hear about her. Here's the link to her You Tube video ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Yard Work

The weather has been terrific, sunny days but a little on the cool side. Friday was spent dethatching the lawn, fertilizing it and then pumping the water off the tarp and scooping the leaves - what a stink! All I can say is, "My aching back."

This morning, I took Mom to the bank to take care of her banking needs and all is good. I also visited Mom early this week and took care of her cell phone. Apparently her phone wasn't working. She ran out of minutes so it's topped up now until Apr. 2010. 

Hope all is well with everyone. Have a great Easter Sunday.

Is Hockey the only thing to talk about?

Oh well, I guess not. Our hockey season is now officially over. This past weekend was spent in Buffalo with Nick's Select Bantam Team. They lost in the Championship game and I posted pictures on Will's picture website Pepsi pictures . Usually, the whole family would go down and spend the weekend watching hockey and do some shopping.

This time, only Nick and Pat went down while Julie stayed back for the other kids's work and rowing. We missed the others. But they had an opportune time to head down to Waterloo to visit Will while watching Greg's and Paul's kids play in one of their tournament which just happened to be in Waterloo. So Will was the beneficiary of a surprise dinner while preparing for his exams.

Rangers Minor Bantam Season

As the Ranger's season is drawing to a close, I think some of the boys are ready to hang them up. All it will take is a couple of warm days. With two of our top players gone with broken bones (thumb and collarbone), we just haven't been the same but it gave other players a chance to step up.

Every season, create a website and post all the photos that I take. I also come up with a gift for the players at Christmas and at the end of the season.

• ATOM - HOCKEY CARD and DVD (slide show for games, practices, player profiles with music)
• MINOR PEEWEE - HOCKEY CARD AND 8 X 10 PHOTO
  
• PEEWEE - BAG TAG and E-Book (900+ pages, almost 2,000 photos detailing all games, practices)

This year no gift at Christmas because of my crazy schedule at work but I will have something for the boys + girl. I've created a team poster this year and will be getting them printed by my printer. Finish size is 20 x 25. Have a peek below.

Weston Last Gasp Tournament

We just got back from his game this morning. We won this AM and David got the winning goal. We are now in the finals. The winner will be determined by total goals for two games. The puck just glanced off the post and went in.
