Wow. What a great start to the season! The arena (the George Bell Arean) was quite packed - there were over 700 people out, which almost beats the attendance record for last years. The ToRD site has gotten a nice overhaul, which, frankly, was badly needed. Since the game i saw last year, the women on the teams have obviously improved a lot, and the game is quite a bit faster, and more skillfully played. Not that it wasn’t fun’n’fast laster year, its just faster now. Crazy crazy. And you can actually sit trackside, rather then just in the stands - awesome.
Everyone should come out to the next game on June 7th - my friend Bep “Karma Killmillions” team The Bay Street Brusiers are playing The Death Track Dolls. Fun!
Or as close as you can come with 12 five to six year-olds in your house for two hours. Conor’s Birthday party, which was originally scheduled for last Saturday, took place today. Huge thanks go out to the Whimz people, and Tracy in particular for putting on such a great … performance? The kids loved all the animals, and it really helped to make the party special. Most importantly, Conor had a great time.
And now the parents can rest a bit easier knowing that it is over for another year!
If anyone has tried to send Ciara or I an email over the past two days, and have had it bounce, or not, you might want to re-send it. My server was all ka-blooie, and i only got it fixed now.
Sorry for the mess up!
Conor’s birthday was great. He had a great day, lots of fun, enjoyed (and enjoying) his presents, went out to dinner, everything was fine. Till the next day. He managed to pickup a fever, and had to stay home from school till Tuesday. This also meant that we had to reschedule his birthday party. Now, i was sure this was going to be a huge deal for him - he can be very sensitive to changes, and this was a pretty big change. However, Conor surprized both of us by being totally calm and cool about the whole thing. We are now on for this Sunday, Conor is on the mend (again, thank the gods for antibiotics) and things seem to be back on track.
Looking back over the past 5 years of Conor’s birthdays, he really hasn’t had great luck. Sick, scared or something always seems to come up for the guy. At least his actual birthday this time was good!
