Last weekend, we spent three days in Kenora, finishing out the tournament season for Gareth’s Atom hockey team. They played well, finishing in second place on the B-side — about seventh overall. I videotaped the first game Saturday morning, which they lost 1-0, but totally outclassed their opponents (Ignace Phantoms), who have pasted them several times this season.

I edited an intro to the DVD for our parents which turned out pretty well. I’m offering it up for your viewing pleasure:

Video of a young fella from Naomi’s hockey tournament this weekend who just started hockey. I remember well when both Gareth and Naomi were of the same skating ability, so I’m not making fun of him, but I just couldn’t resist posting this:

….and there’s my house!

Shameless attempt to get a vacation for free: I desperately need time away, and going to Porto Cupecoy would be more than awesome. Since projects are falling apart all around me, a chance to recharge the batts would be hugely welcome.

Oh, and along that line, if you’re available, we need help building the spray park this weekend. Email me for more info, or just show up Friday or Saturday at 9AM with a shovel, a rake and a hammer.
