One day, five events

Why does everything have to happen today?

Back in June I noticed Purdue’s football schedule and they were playing against Oregon so the thought about dragging one of my friends to come with me and do a mini road trip after practice in the morning. Days later I got invited to a family friends wedding and got asked if I could join a team and race with them in Portland. By this time I was thinking what else could happen could on September 12th and how would I be able to clone myself.

By the end of the summer YVRTwestival was announced to be having a function the same time as everything else. If either the wedding or the twestival event were at different times of the day I could have seen myself take part in both but I can’t. Poor Aidan is upset that I can’t go with her

Today is gonna be a busy one, I’m just about to head to practice, then race off to the wedding then watching the football game via the internet when I get back home since the game isn’t being aired near me Right now I’m not willing to pay $30 more bucks to get a channel that might air a few of their games per season.

Sure I’d love to be watching the game live and or be racing this weekend (hoping for bling) and or even mingling with fellow twitters but I’m helping out at the wedding so I can’t really miss it.

How was/is your Saturday?

My labour day weekend and Football

I maybe a paddling geek but I do LOVE my (canadian and american style) football! A university team (I support) and two pro teams were playing this long weekend. Its been a long time since I was able to watch three days of football in a row, it was really nice that all three teams won too. A nice way to start off the long weekend I think.

Sunday, I just hung out with my Mom and brother by going though some boxes of my late grandfolks. Its been three years since they passed on, but we just haven’t gotten around to sorting some of their boxes that were from a filing cabinet. One of the great fines was a 12 page typed written story with some handwritten notes from late great uncle about a week long a canoe trip that he took with my uncle back in the late 60′s. I never got a chance to meet him but from the stories I heard about my great uncle he was interesting character and being blind never stopped him do anything either.

Holiday Monday was gonna be a day of relaxing, and re-organizing my computer desk but I noticed my site’s counter showed my site had a few unwanted visitors (spider-bots and spammers) so spent a good hour and a bit fixing that problem. If you’re unsure about having a site counter you really should get one. Nile’s latest post explains why you should get one.

How was your long weekend?
