Ovaries, Do We Really Need Them?

I think I would be in less pain if we didn't. A couple of weeks ago I had this stomach pain, that was the Friday night before Wicked. I didn't feel bad on Saturday and forgot about it until Sunday night. No sleep until 4am! It was driving me crazy. Monday I went to work and Julia yelled at me (as well as you can in an email) and told me to get my butt to a doctor. Which I did. The doctor believed it was a cyst and that I should have an ultrasound. He didn't sound too worried, said they were pretty common (which I have found out, they are). He prescribed me some pain killers. Wed I headed to the ultrasound, they told me I would probably hear back in 3-5 business days. I thought, okay, no big deal, the pain isn't too bad and I went back to work.

About an hour later the doctor's office called and told me to come in right away. Hello, panic! The radiologist thought it might be something called Ovarian Torsion. Not so common and pretty serious. I read later on the internet that the ovary is saved in less than 10% of cases. This was at a walk-in clinic and they told me to go see my family doctor and if the pain gets worse before then to go immediately to the ER. I was pretty upset.

I headed to my doctor on the Thursday (almost a week after the initial pain). She went over the results and tried to get me in to see an OB-GYN. No such luck so she sent me to the ER at Women's College Hospital, because if it was torsion I did need surgery right away. Needless to say I was upset and in tears.

Things were quick at the hospital when I first got there. I saw a doctor and he sent me for another ultrasound to find out if it was torsion and if the ovary was already dead. It took a while to get the ultrasound (and it was not fun). Evil nazi radiologist who wanted to see if she could make me cry from the pain (she succeeded). But, it turns out, it wasn't torsion (it took another hour to find that out). It is a cyst, though. It's bigger than my right ovary (which means my left ovary is growing to accomodate). It's bleeding in on itself which is what makes it grow. But, no surgery is necessary (at least not yet). I go back for another ultrasound (oh joy) in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime the pain is still there. I'm happy that it doesn't appear serious and that I shouldn't lose my ovary. I've never had surgery so I'm not looking forward to that (if it happens). Of course, so many thoughts going through my head: should I harvest my eggs, will I be able to have kids, etc.

Wicked

Today I went to see 'Wicked' with my Dad, Sue, my Grandma, Lisa, Christi and Sandra. It was awesome. I highly recommend this production to everyone. I would definitely go see this again. Much better than I expected, it was great and I loved the idea behind it (especially the propaganda idea). I'm going to have to watch The Wizard of Oz. Go see this show!

After the show we all went to the Overdraught (Irish pub), where my cousin Ed works. We had an excellent time. I wish it was possible to do this more often.

AFIs Top 100 - Finally

As some of you know, AFI (The American Film Institute) came out with their '100 Years...100 Movies' list in 1998. This is a list of the Top 100 films in the first 100 years of AFIs existence. When the list was first published Lisa and I had the list on our respective fridges and Blockbuster had a handy pocket list where you could mark off those you had seen. We were very keen and thought what a great way to watch some great movies. You might not think 100 movies is alot (considering how many movies most of us watch), but this list was so hard to complete.

Well, I am so happy to say, that I have finally watched all 100 movies (it only took 8 years). The final movie for me was Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times' (he had three movies on the list). It was good, but I probably didn't enjoy it as much as I could have since at that point I just wanted to be done with the list.

I've been asked to give my opinions on the list and now that I am finished I feel that I can now give a comprehensive answer.

Let's start off with the movies that I didn't feel should be on this list:

• Annie Hall - I hate Woody Allen, I don't find him funny and I don't understand why everyone loves this film.
• West Side Story - I love Nathalie Wood (I was almost named Nathalie because my mom liked her so much, yes, I would have been Nathalie Woodall), but I don't think it quite ranks up there with some of these other films.
• Duck Soup - I really don't get the Marx Brothers. Parts were pretty funny, but I didn't really like the movie.
• Unforgiven - this is the only Clint Eastwood movie on the list. I find that odd. I would have thought one of his other movies would have made the list. Of course, I've never been a big Clint fan (I did really like 'Play Misty for Me', though). I guess I can't say whether or not his other movies were great. But, I suspect they put this on the list because he didn't have any others.
• Fargo - now, I love a good wood-chipper scene, but I suspect that the only reason this film made the list is because it came out the year that they were voting on the list.
• The Searchers - John Wayne already had a movie on the list (Stagecoach) and I thought it was a very good movie. But, I hated this movie. He is so racist and the movie is so long. Don't bother, watching this one.

Now, the following are movies that I understand should be on the list, but I really didn't like them:

• Ben-Hur - Great film making in this one. The chariot race is pretty amazing, but you know me, I'm not a big fan of religion. I didn't realize that this was a movie about Jesus, but it is, in a very weird way.
• 2001: A Space Odyssey - I can just imagine my brother yelling at his computer when he sees this. Now, I love the scene with Hal, but other than that, I'm really not a big fan of this film. I think there were some amazing parts to this film and I agree that it should be on the list, but not my cup of tea. But, I could listen to Hal again and again.
• The Jazz Singer - I think I expected something more from this film. I didn't dislike it, but I did expect there to be more spoken word. I really didn't realize that it was a silent film with the songs actually synched. Apparently, the entire movie wasn't in sound because the producers didn't think the audience wanted a talking picture. I did find out many interesting film facts while watching these movies.
• Bringing up Baby - Katherine Hepburn already had multiple movies on this list. This just wasn't as good as the others.
• Birth of a Nation - I just don't know where to start with this film. Is it the white woman dressed in black face acting all crazy for the camera (to show that black women are all crazy); or the fact that the movie is about how awesome the KKK is (and how everyone - well, the white race - will be saved by the KKK); or how Griffith didn't want to employ any black people, so most of the black characters are actual white actors in blackface; there are just so many things wrong with this movie. I had put off watching this movie for so long (I thought it would be the last movie in the list that I watched), but I do understand why it is here. The stuff that Griffith did on the screen is amazing. Watch this just to see how crazy he makes the black people seem. You just won't believe it.

Here is a list of the movies that I was really surprised by and I highly recommend them:

• The Wild Bunch - I think this was the movie I was most surprised by. I absolutely loved it. It's a western and is so beautifully shot. It took my breath away.
• Shane - Maybe I secretly love westerns. But, whenever I see that final scene I just start bawling.
• Singin' In the Rain - I had to go out and buy it right after I saw it. I love Gene Kelly.
• All About Eve - probably my favourite on the list. Just an amazing movie.
• High Noon - once again another western. Maybe I just didn't expect the westerns to be any good.

Now, the list of my favourites. Well, actually I can't really pin it down. With the obvious exceptions above, I really enjoyed the movies on this list. I highly recommend checking the list out: http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/movies.aspx

• Star Wars
• The Godfather
• Gone With The Wind
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
• From Here to Eternity
• American Graffiti

These are just some of my favourites. It was a great list and the other lists that they have (top villains / heros; screen legends; etc) are really interesting as well. A great way to find movies that you may otherwise have not picked up.

Happy viewing!

Stuff

Since April I've been feeling like crap (as many of you know). In July my doctor prescribed some anti-depressants for me. For the most part the drugs appear to be working, but I still have some really crappy days. The last two days have been pretty good days. I took today off work to think about some stuff. I'm going to start looking for a new job. I really like the company I work for and the people I work with, but I need a new challenge. I'm really looking forward to moving back to a city.

But, on a much happier note I bought a new computer. I had my laptop for 6 years and it was about time for something new. This one is wireless and I love it. I'm sitting on my new couch in front of the tv posting my blog. It's awesome.

Who You Gonna Call?

Ghostbusters!

Our company always goes all out for Halloween and this year my team worked together on a theme. We were the Ghostbusters.

We decorated our cubicle area with ghosts and spiderwebs. We had the music (and the movie) playing all day. I made 'Slimer' out of paper mache and homemade slime. Cool, eh?

There was also a pumpkin carving contest (we didn't participate). Here is my favourite out of the bunch (pretty creative).

Now I'm tired and need a rest from all this creativity and chocolate.

So Many Things

Where to begin? It has been so long since I really posted. I'm still trying to work on my post for my trip out to BC. Hopefully this weekend.

When I returned from the trip out West I was on the road again. This time, a little closer to home. I headed to Goderich for my Grandmother's 85th birthday celebration. The party was excellent, we had beautiful weather, the food was excellent and it was great to see everyone that made the trek.

My cousin Ed was the bartender for the beginning of the party, check him out:

Ed and his wife Jana crashed at my place while they were looking for jobs in TO this fall. It was awesome to have them around (I do like being the weigh-station for everyone moving to Toronto - I'm not being sarcastic).

One of the best parts of the day was when my cousin Nick dressed up in a sailor outfit and brought out the cannon that my Grandfather built (yes a cannon that he built). We thought the neighbours might call the cops when he set it off.

My aunt Karen didn't believe that the motorcycle outside was mine. Even after I let her hop on, I still don't think she believed me.

The weekend after that I headed to Wasaga Beach for a surprise wedding shower for my cousin Candice and her fiance Sean. I hadn't been up to Chris and Dennis' place since they had moved and it was awesome to see their new place. One of the best parts of the day was getting to play with the kids (Nicole has a daughter and a son and Keith has a son). They are so super cute.

My Uncle Dennis has the best games room. He's always wanted a pool table and it is great. I played horribly, but boy was it a lot of fun.

A couple of weekends after that I headed to Kitchener to visit with Heidi, Teresa, Cara and the respective families. Here is the scary thought, we started high school together 20 years ago in Goderich. The visit was great and we have plans to get together again in November. The only unpleasant part of the visit (aside from Jen being unable to join us) was when Liam was fighting the chair and the chair won. It started out super cute and Liam was winning in the fight, but the chair took its final revenge and Liam ended up with a bloody nose.

I had a girls weekend up at the cottage in September. Lisa, Sandra and Julia were able to make it and we had an excellent weekend. My dad was up there working and therefore we were able to get out in the boat. Lisa decided to try tubing and she was having a great time and then dad sent her flying. She kept wanting to go faster. Dad did feel bad, but Lisa appears to be keen to try it again.

At the end of September I went to the weirdest housewarming party. It was a surprise party for Dorie, but not at her place. You have to know Dorie and her friends to understand. Dorie was super surprised (I won't show you that picture :)). The party was great and the cosmos were excellent!The party theme was 'Sex and the City"; check out my super cute red heels! Picture is of me, Dorie and her sister Mary Sue.

I wasn't sure what my plans were going to be for Thanksgiving, but at the last minute I was invited to my cousin Michelle's place. I headed to TO and checked out my cousin Ed's new place first (huge apartment) and then we headed to Michelle and Andrew's. Excellent dinner and great visit. Dad showed up on his way back from the cottage and then he stuck around to watch my hockey game. Hockey hasn't been going so well this season and that night's game was no exception.

Dad and I listen to Derringer's morning show on Q107, so when I won tickets to a 'Breakfast with Derringer' he was the first person I called to invite. He was also the only other person I knew that would be crazy enough to get up at that time of the morning. For those of you that don't listen to Derringer, every so often the morning show leaves the studio and heads out into the real world (i.e. bars or people's homes) for the show. This time it was Jack Astor's around the GTA. I won tickets to the show in Newmarket. We had to be there for 5am (yes, 5am), so I was up at 3:45 and on the road for 4. Boy was it ever dark and cold. But, it was fun. We met John and Ryan and had some breakfast and listen to some comics.

Dorie, Lisa and I headed out for Brunch one Saturday morning. The food was excellent and so was the company. We then headed to Dorie's new condo, to check it out. I'm super jealous. It's a great place.

Well, I've been trying to post this for awhile now. So, I better just do it. I haven't been reading a lot lately, so I can't think of anything to say on the book front. Oh, I did read 'This Can't Be Happening at McDonald Hall". To be able to write a book in grade seven; I can't even imagine. I must have read some other books, but for the life of me I can't think of any of them.

New Laptop

So, I bought a new laptop. I've had the same one for six years. I thought it was about time. Famous last words. I've been fighting with the new laptop for three days now. It's making me mental. First the wireless didn't work. Then, I had a system file error and the computer wouldn't even shut down. Boy that was fun. Apparently windows auto updates cause a problem with XP. Ah, how I love Microsoft.

I do have wireless working now, and (for now) a new laptop that appears to be working. I hope this means that I will finally be able to update my blog with the details of the rest of my summer. But, tonight I am sick of my computer.

Mtv

As some of you know, I'm addicted to Mtv and have been for a long time. Lisa's friend Waheeda was looking for a quote for an article. Here I am in print:

Book List

So, I haven't been on here in awhile and at some point I will publish the details of my trip to Vancouver, but many pictures are required for that.

In the meantime I've been reading, watching movies and have been stuck to my couch as the new television season starts.

Here's what I've been reading. I finished reading Silent Spring. Everyone should read this, even though it was written in the 60s, it is still very relevant to today. Then on a lighter note I read 'Skipped Parts'. Lisa always lends me the weirdest books. I think I liked this book. It was very different. Then Jason leant me a sci-fi book when I was out west, 'Farnham's Freehold'. This book was very interesting and it has some great ideas, but I don't think I liked it. It has some very heavy racist comments and some other weird ideas. But, it definitely makes you think about what you would need if you were stuck in a bomb shelter. I found it to be very interesting in the ways it makes you think. Then onto lighter stuff again, 'The Perfect Elizabeth'. I really enjoyed this, nice and light and a good read. Back into a mystery after that, 'I is for Innocent'. I had read quite a few of the Sue Grafton books a few years ago, but then they all started to sound the same. It was nice to get back and find out what was happening with Kinsey. Now I'm reading 'Zero'. Yes, it is a book on the history of the number zero. Very interesting.

Oct 18, 2006 - Update: I stopped reading 'Zero' again. Someday I will finish that book.

I really can't remember all the books I've read. Actually, I took a break and was very addicted to Sudoku there for awhile.

I did read 'This Can't Be Happening at McDonald Hall', I never read it in public school. It was pretty good. I also read 'Hags, Sirens and other Bad Girls of Fantasy', a short story collection. It was good, my favourite story out of the book was one about the Tooth Fairy, it just takes a hilarious turn.

I'm Angelic

I found the best quiz ever. http://home.att.net/~slugbutter/evil/

I took the quiz and this is what it says about me: http://home.att.net/~slugbutter/evil/angelic.htm

Really, it did, it said that I'm Angelic.

Lord of the Rings - the play, sucks

So, July is now over. Where does the time go? I can't even remember what happened at the end of July. Too many things going on, I guess.

I finally went to see Lord of the Rings, the play. Wow, now I realize why the show is being cancelled. It was so bad. The staging was pretty cool. But, the book is, what, 1600 pages. The movies were about 13 hours. Yet, they condensed that to 3 1/2 hours of play. Which was possible. I was suprised, but it was definitely possibe. Unfortunately, they did not get the right actors to pull it off. Gandalf did not have enough screen prescence. They also had the sound turned way up so it sounded like I was at a movie theatre with surround sound. Very weird for a play. Go see Spamalot, a much better production.

Off to the cottage with my dad and my sister. So, much fun. We watched Underworld: Evolution; played cards and cribbage and spent a ton of time on the boat. It was so relaxing. We also tore down some dead branches from one of the trees. That was fun!

New Baby

Congratulations to my friends Karen and Kevin (and Brandon and Mackenzie). They have just welcomed their new son (brother) into their family. Three boys now for Karen and Kevin. I just can't imagine.

And Your Father Smelt of Elderberries

If you have the chance, you should definitely go and see Spamalot. My brother bought me a ticket for my birthday and Lisa and I went to see it on Friday. Now, I have see the Holy Grail I don't know how many times, but Lisa had never seen the movie. We both really enjoyed it. All the great scenes are there, plus some new ones. It is quite entertaining. I laughed the entire time. It's currently only on sale until the end of August. "It's just a flesh wound."

http://www.montypythonsspamalot.com/ for info on the show and http://www.mirvish.com/spamalot/ for tickets in Toronto.

After the fun of Monty Python, I spent the weekend at the beach. Yes, I spent the weekend that was hotter than hell at the beach. The 12th annual Heatwave beach volleyball tournament for Sick Kids Hospital was this past weekend. ESI (the company I work for) has put a team in the tournament for the past 7 years. I missed last year because I was hiking around Newfoundland. But, I was back this year as captain. My goodness it was hot. The sand was burning and I actually suffered a bit of heat stroke with a headache that lasted about 8 hours.

The tournament was a lot of fun, as always. We played 14 games, we won 5 of the games and had two others that ended with a point difference. Not our worst year, but not our best either. I had a couple of great serves and now wish that I played more than once a year. By the end of the tournament I was definitely getting a better sense of where the ball was going. (Many collisions happened during the weekend, like the one below between Jeff and Christi.)

Christi and I went swimming in between a couple of the games (Woodbine beach was one of two without an ecoli warning in Toronto this weekend). Boy was it nice to get in the lake even if it was only for a minute or two. To beat the heat we had two tents on Saturday, but only one on Sunday. Even though it was super hot, there was a bit of a breeze. During one of our games we looked over and our tents were blowing away. They actually blew right over a girl sitting on the beach and one of the tents broke. I knew I should have brought the duct tape out of the car. I couldn't have imagined being one of the teams without a tent, it made such a huge difference. We hated getting out and stepping on the super hot sand. But, we did make it on tv. Apparently, I was in the footage shown on CTV News. I missed it because I was too tired to remember to set the pvr. CityTv also taped one of our games, but no word yet if we made it onto their broadcast.

Hockey No Fun

Today was crappy. I hate zip.ca, the rental car company forgot about me (again) and for the first time ever I didn't want to play hockey.

I haven't been feeling great for a couple of months now and it just seems to be getting worse. I can't sleep, I'm upset all the time and I keep quitting my sports. Today I went to hockey and half way through the game I just stopped wanting to play. So, I stopped. I hate my life right now.

But, there was a highlight to my day. I bought the kitties a new scratching post and they are so cute. I bought it for Placenta Head but Noke has taken it over and won't let him near it. I was hoping this would stop him from destroying my couch so that I could think about buying a new one. But, it doesn't look good.

Mudball

On Monday night I had my first baseball game with the Bears (a new team I've joined). It was pouring rain all day. I figured the game would be cancelled, but just in case I asked for a ride from one of the guys on the team (turned out we had to show up no matter what to ensure the team didn't default). About an hour before I was getting picked the sun was shining and Dan asked if I still needed a ride, or if I would take the motorcycle. I hadn't really thought about taking the bike due to the rain, so I asked if he could still pick me up. Boy was I glad I did. It started to pour about ten minutes before he picked me up. We both figured the game would be cancelled. No such luck. Ump said we were playing.

Now, I play backcatch. If any of you have ever been to a baseball diamond when it rains, have you ever noticed how home plate normally seems to be a small lake? Well, this was a red mud lake. No matter what I tried to do the ball somehow bounced in one of the huge puddles and sent mud flying in my direction. By the end of the game I had chunks of mud in my hair, I couldn't see out of my glasses and my uniform was caked with mud from wiping the ball off. Even after a shower when I got home I still had mud in my ears. But, I had a great time!

World Cup

I totally got addicted to the World Cup this year, but not until late in the competition. The first game I watched was Portugal vs. England. I was in the minority here, I think, cheering for Portugal. I'm currently sitting here watching the 3rd place game with Portugal vs. Germany.

Last weekend I celebrated Canada Day at Karen and Kevin's. It was a lot of fun. We sat out side and watched the kids go crazy on the wet banana slide and then played cards all evening. I love playing cards. We also played Taboo and the guys kicked our butts. But, it was still fun.

Nothing else too exciting going on with me. I'm having major issues with my MP3 player. It keeps shutting itself off even with a full battery charge. Of course, I can not find any answers on the web. Hopefully iriver emails me back with some ideas of what is wrong. Then, if that wasn't annoying enough, I just received an email from zip.ca that they have deactivated my account. I loved my zip service. DVDs being delivered to my house. But, I have had over 6 DVDs not received back at Zip and one that I never received. Apparently, they believe that I have stolen them or some such thing. I personally believe that whoever is responsible for the mail in my office building has something to do with it. But, apparently that does not matter. Stupid zip.ca.

I finished reading Stephen King's newest book, Cell. It was okay. It was somewhat similar to The Stand, but not as good. I'm currently reading Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. A rather depressing book. It is one of the books that started the modern environmental movement. It was written in the 1960s and still resonates today. But, I think I want something a little less heavy for the summer.

Next weekend I'm heading down to the Beaches in Toronto for a beach volleyball tournament as well as going to see Spamalot with Lisa. Should be a good weekend.

Even Bad Golf is Fun

To celebrate Father's Day and my birthday (because I love my dad so much I decided to come into this world to coincide with a day to celebrate him), my dad and I finally got in a game of golf.

Monday started out looking pretty bad weather wise. They were calling for rain. That would not have been good since we had already rescheduled this game. But, the weather did hold out and we had beautiful weather on the course.

Unfortunately, we did not have a beautiful game. Dad had a couple of great holes, but we also seemed to have some bad ones to go along with that. But, the beer girl was by numerous times and that made up for everything.

I had not had a good day at work, so I am hopeful that that is what caused my extremely bad performance.

We then had dinner at the Devil's Harp to cap off our great evening. Thanks for a great birthday Dad!

Happy Pride

I made it downtown today and caught up with my friends Heidi and Jen and Heidi's brother, George. They had staked out a great spot for the pride parade and it was just an absolutely gorgeous day.

Now, Heidi and Jen have been in Ottawa for a few years now and I have not had the pleasure of their company for Toronto Pride. So, it was very nice to hang out with them today. But, I did miss hanging out with Andi, Liz and Michelle and everyone from the gang. Of course, normally that is a Saturday Dyke March day and crazy dancing night.

Maybe next year I will get to hang out with both groups and Pride will be perfect :)

At one point as we were watching today, I looked up and saw all this yellow and a bunch of math symbols. University of Waterloo! Woo hoo. What other crazy group would have math symbols on their shirts?

I didn't take too many pics at pride, but here is another. When we saw the firetruck we were hoping that there would be some hot women along with the hot firemen. But, alas, only men.

Happy Pride Everyone!

Woodall Number

Did you know that there is a 'Woodall number'? How did this never come up in one of my math classes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodall_prime


Woodall number is a natural number of the form n · 2n − 1 (written Wn).

Woodall numbers were first studied by A. J. C. Cunningham and H. J.
Woodall in 1917, inspired by James Cullen's earlier study of the
similarly-defined Cullen numbers. The first few Woodall numbers are 1,
7, 23, 63, 159, 383, 895, ... (sequence A003261 in OEIS). Woodall
numbers curiously arise in Goodstein's theorem.

Woodall numbers that are also prime numbers are called Woodall primes;
the first few exponents n for which the corresponding Woodall numbers Wn
are prime are 2, 3, 6, 30, 75, 81, 115, 123, 249, 362, 384, ...
(sequence A002234 in OEIS); the Woodall primes themselves begin with 7,
23, 383, 32212254719, ... (sequence A050918 in OEIS).

Like Cullen numbers, Woodall numbers have many divisibility properties.
For example, if p is a prime number, then p divides
W(p + 1) / 2 if the Jacobi symbol \left(\frac{2}{p}\right) is +1 and
W(3p − 1) / 2 if the Jacobi symbol \left(\frac{2}{p}\right) is −1.
It is conjectured that almost all Woodall numbers are composite; a proof
has been submitted by Suyama, but it has not been verified yet.
Nonetheless, it is also conjectured that there are infinitely many
Woodall primes.

A generalized Woodall number is defined to be a number of the form n ·
bn − 1, where n + 2 > b; if a prime can be written in this form, it is
then called a generalized Woodall prime.

Wonderland

Christi and I had a great time at Wonderland. Beautiful weather and short lines. The longest line we had to stand in was about 30 mins. That was for White Water Canyon. I haven't been on that ride for a long time because the line is always too long.

Our first ride of the day was Top Gun. I don't know why I stand in line for this one. It's definitely not one of my favourites. But, it is the first ride when I get there so I can't seem to resist. We checked out the new Tomb Raider ride. It's kinda of cool going through the ride lying down, especially when flipping upside down. My favourite is still the Psychlone. Christi and I went on that ride twice. We also hit a number of water rides and were soaked for most of the day. A ton of fun!

My friend Karen had her last day at work this week before going on maternity leave. We went out for lunch at this Indian pancake place. Huge amounts of food! A whole year without Karen at work :( But, soon a new baby for me to spoil.

Friday night my friends Lisa, Mohsen and Anna came to Mississauga for dinner for my birthday (it just keeps going). We had an excellent dinner! After they dropped me off, I decided to head out to Crocodile Rock to go dancing. I was so in the mood to dance. It's odd going to a bar by yourself. But, I found some people to dance with and had a great time.


Saturday I was supposed to go on the Ride for Sight to Trenton. Unfortunately, my friend Tim was in a car accident and couldn't ride his motorcycle (concussion). Feel better soon Tim!

Today I am hoping to head down to Toronto for the Pride parade and to watch the Portugal / Netherlands soccer game at Mohsen and Anna's. Looks like it should be a great day for the parade.
