FIFTY BLOGS AND COUNTING:


Amazingly today is the 50th blog I've posted during my challenge; it's hard to believe! So far it's been a great ride with many ups and very few downs. I've also met some new friends along the way which is always rewarding in itself.

Last Thursday night the Sarge and I were invited to do a short presentation to the Lion's Club of Cobourg. What a great night, heck they even fed us! That being said I had to be on my best behaviour as the Sarge was right beside me monitoring my intake...she never let's up! Anyways, we were given the opportunity to speak about the NO COP OUT CHALLENGE and the raising of money for an ECG machine for the Northumberland Hills Hospital. The feedback that I got back was positive, apparently we did a good job and some pledges will be coming forward! Terrific! I can't close this section off without thanking the Lion's Club for all the charity events and good deeds they do in the community! Keep up the good work folks!

Went to another boot camp on Saturday morning, it's a good sweat! I was following behind Melissa and at one of the stations she wanted me to tell her my life story in 75 seconds! Sorry kid, that's just not possible...I lived a life that others can only dream of (I'm still laughing at that one). The next time around I asked about her life story...I fell asleep...ouch!

Also at the Saturday boot camp was Dr. Kathy. Always the professional and concerned about the safety of others, she made sure nobody was near her when she started to skip rope. I applaud her concern for her fellow participants! The whistle blows, which means to start, I expect Dr. Kathy to set a new record...nope, didn't even make one jump! She was trying to skip backwards and the rope stuck on her foot and got ripped out of her hands...truly a Kodak moment!According to her she needs to skip outside in the parking lot, she feels to confined in the gym, not the proper fung shei, so to speak. I hope she has a sense of humour, I can only imagine my next trip to Emerg and complaining of chest pain...then she asks me to bend over!!
Actually she's an expert boot camper, but don't tell her that!


Speaking of skipping rope I have to give credit to that old fart Dave Hughes. He was just a skipping fool on Saturday! He was setting a wicked pace, front and backwards. I betcha he's great at hop scotch as well!

Sunday morning was spent at Bodilogix trying to prepare the float for the Santa Claus Parade. Good thing Andre was there...he was a work horse and he definitely had a vision as to what the float should look like. Mind you, he always has visions!

Remember..."Life is like a jar of Jalapeno peppers.
What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow!"

Big Dave ...out!
