I’m no fan of winter. It’s odd because I am one of those “aren’t there bears outside?” kind of people so I shouldn’t care much about the weather.
But I love sunshine. And more, and I love wearing shorts and not having to dress warmly. And I really love playing road hockey, which we’re doing not this Saturday but the one after, and I am psyched.
I’m also really out of shape. More than usual, smartmouth. With the Xmas laziness being followed by some New Years lack of caring and then some weird sickness I’ve really slacked off in the “move your fat body” department. But with road hockey on the horizon I’m starting to get into gear. Mel suggested we go to the gym today and my brain couldn’t think of a reason not to, so we did. 20 minutes on the crosstrainer with a 5 minute cooldown. The new iPod was great and seemed to want me to listen to 80s tunes (U2’s “Shadows and Tall Trees” being followed by Bryan Adams’ “Summer of ‘69″) while my heart raced. Man, remember when Bryan Adams wasn’t a ballad singing sellout?
Then I came home just in time to help out with the tail end of my Goon Squad’s Hamidon raid in City of Heroes, netting myself a spiffy super rare Hamidon enhancement. If you don’t play CoH, don’t worry — I got something cool in a game and you really shouldn’t care.
I’ve been testing out some other Wordpress Themes on the site so if it looks differently for a while you’ll know why. I keep seeing themes I like but when I try them I find something I don’t like about them so I come back to this one. I think I’m just going to have to make a new one of my own, otherwise I’ll never be happy.
Oh, and back on the weather — my motorcycle is on the road! Huzzah! It’s a 1985 Kawasaki KZ-440. It’s no bullet bike but it gets me around and is really fun to ride. Boo to rain and hooray for sun!






Road hockey? On the 19th?
Yes. You coming out this time?
I think I can manage it. Haven’t played with the old gang in far too long. Let me double check my schedule before I commit though. What are you doing later/Sunday? I can bring my golf clubs…
Might be D&D on Sunday, but I think the boys could be convinced to play golf instead if the weather’s good.
Sunday’s my FIL’s birthday, so we can delay D&D another week.
Man, winter is in full effect here. ANother snow storm today. Nova Scotia totally sucks.
Snow? Sometimes I see that when I go 4×4ing in the mountains. I just drive right over it.
Yep, I’m good to go for next weekend. I’ll go tape up the hockey stick…
Yes Road Hockey..I’ll be off that Saturday, so I’m in. The doctor cleared me to play…Don’t forget this Sunday 6:30pm. The possible Cup win for the Hitmen……..
