Thursday June 25 marked a great day in Durham College and the University of Ontario Instutitue of Technology’s golf history. The tournament, set at the Summerlea Golf Club in Port Perry, saw team “Dearly Departed” fight their way to the top of the pack by shooting an amazing -9, and finishing with a final score [...]

Yesterday we had a great time at the diamond. It was a long-time-coming, but the Pylons – headed up by Michelle, had finally met their match with the devoted Hazards – headed up by yours truly.
Blood, sweat, tears, 6-innings, and an 8-8 tie, followed-up by a BBQ at Brandon’s.
What a great day!

I just wanted to post a friendly reminder that today is the last day to get the donations in for the charity volleyball tournament that I’m playing in this weekend.
My original goal of $250 was completely smashed, and so I’ve upped it to $450.
Right now, I’ve raised $395!!! It’s so close to the goal… [...]

Nothing really newsworthy today – just at work. Had a meeting this morning, have another LONG meeting this afternoon. Then I get to drive in the weather that’s supposed to hit the GTA. YAY!Can you smell the enthusiasm?On another note, I found on the Skype website something that they call “WeeMee” – anyways, this is [...]

Well, after about 3.5 hour drive, I finally made it to Rochester. I decided to do the drive, instead of take the ferry. I ended up getting a Pontiac Grand AM LS. Decent car. Glad it had cruise control. 94km on the I-90 straight driving…
It was a very easy drive, $3.25 [...]

So… for $64US I can take the ferry (one way) from Toronto to Rochester. It’s about a 2.5hr trip. The thing is this – it leaves at 7 p.m. and I’m supposed to be there about an hour before it takes off.
