The Cutting Edge

Last weekend I somehow managed to convince Cam to do something that he hadn't done in over a decade. Here are some clues - it involved someone else's stinky feet, a shopping cart and some cheesy 80's music. That's right - last Saturday Cam and I went public skating!

We marched over to the closest arena where Cam bravely donned a pair of rental skates and hit the ice, determined to not fall down. And, amazingly, he did not fall down.

Deep in concentration.

Getting the hang of it - except for those ankles. Why can't he keep them straight? I hear there may be a genetic link.

Show-off.

Post-skating hair... pretty fantastic.

And while I don't think Cam is quite ready for 2010, I was pretty impressed. Let's just hope that he doesn't ask me to shoot some hoops with him as a trade-off, because unless I missed the announcement that basketball is now played on ice, I think I may be in trouble.

Dragonette

Still exhausted from our trip to Ontario, we emerged from a wonderful Wednesday night nap and headed out to Sugar to check out the Dragonette show. Despite our low-energy levels, it was a thoroughly enjoyable concert. The club was full and the crowd in the front was really digging it. The band went through most of their material off Galore, and mixed in some INXS much to the crowd's delight. Brenda, who was not very familiar the band, is definitely a new fan.

Joel, the drummer, is a familiar face from some silly nights out with the girls of 1047 Bathurst. Unfortunately we were so spent, Brenda and I cleared out of the bar the moment the band finished their set, so we didn't get a chance to say 'hello'.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Toronto, Hamilton and Barrie last week. We had a great time and we'll hope to see you again in the summer!

Go Fish!

We ventured out in the pouring rain yesterday morning to check out the salmon run up at Goldstream Park. The scene was a little different than last year, there were a lot more dead fish this year, and consequently a lot more happy fat sea gulls. The stream was also a lot calmer because we haven't had any of the crazy rainstorms that we had last year.
