Penguins, Pot & Other Stuff

As most of you know, I recently went through a very bad bout regarding my health.  Let’s just say things weren’t looking very good for a while.  A week went by where I remember absolutely nothing at all.  The staff at St. Joe’s Emergency & Intensive Care units did a great job.  Thank you so much.

 

But even more so, there are 3 people who I feel deserve more accolades.  "Niece" Trish, Brother Joseph & Paulo (in no particular order)-I love you all so much.  I already knew you were fantastic people but this little incident only underlines it more in my mind and in my heart.  Thank you so much!  You will never be forgotten or thought of as anything than other truly fantastic people.  Again, I love you all!

It’s around this time of year that I start to develop more interest in the NHL hockey season.  The CFL is done (RIP Tiger Cats) and the NFL is gearing up for their playoffs.  Soon though, American football will also be done for the year.  Then, hockey takes over!

 

Montréal is doing fairly well this year.  Maybe not as well as predicted earlier but still definitely in the heat of the race for first place.  Toronto?  Well, they’re still Toronto!  Looking forward to going to watch my boys from Montréal play Buffalo in February.  Brother Joseph & I will make a day of it.  Leave early, grab something to beat in Buffalo and then watch our boys kick some American ass!

 

Go Habs Go!

Yes, except for the weather, one of my favorite times of the year.  Family, friends, good food & a general sense of "niceness" is in the air.  Looking forward to the family get-together at Sister Dianne’s on Christmas Eve night.  We get to open our presents at midnight!  Then, Christmas dinner with Brother Mike and his family.

 

Also looking forward to the annual poker game with the boys during that week between Christmas & New Year’s.  I’ll have to make sure there are plenty of pastitzi to go a round.  Man, those guys can eat!  19 more days to go till the big day.  Well worth the wait!
