Friday was a tough night. I had Giants semi-final tickets, for the game starting at 5:00 (thank you, Eastern time zone!), and the grad for adult education started at 6:30. What to do; what to do…
Easy – go to the game; DON’T DRINK; then beetle off to grad. Good thing I was a man and told people of my absence beforehand, otherwise the jobs I usually help out with would not have been covered, and that would’ve looked bad.
The Giants won 8-1, so the final is a repeat of the WHL final – VanCity vs. Medicine Hat for all bragging rights. As you can see from the picture, Medicine Hat plays like the Minnesota Wild – just jam the front with everybody and slow the game down. It works, but it’s not fun to watch. Good thing Loverboy is the post-game entertainment. I’ll have someone to compare hair to! (Photos to follow.)
Today marks the beginning of the three week push to the June 15 conclusion. Many people are looking forward to coming and witnessing the haircut. Rita Ringdahl, the elementary school teacher that shares our building, has asked me to confirm the 1:00 clip time, so her class can attend. Bless her and them, they’re collecting coins for the cause. As well, my mother-in-law is coming out from Toronto to watch, both to confirm to my wife and mother that the cut is in fact being done. [I know; I wouldn’t trust me either.]
The overall total has been raised to $8000 – and that’s where it will stay. Damn those cheap teachers who are looking for a way out; I have to keep upping the goal because the total I have so far demands it.

I am blessed by the people who have donated. I am blessed by the people who will donate.
