I've been traded to the Leafs...

I can't believe it. After being a faithful Oilers fan for years I will have to lace up for an Eastern team this winter. I'm playing for the Leafs. Before you boo and throw Alberta Beef steaks at my head let me explain. I signed up for the ConocoPhillips hockey league. Instead of a draft it was just an unfortunate draw that will have me wearing white and blue. Oh well. My first game is against the Senators next Monday and the Oilers the week after.

Other news: what a kick-ass long weekend. On Saturday my friends Amy and Clayton got married down in Nanton. Beautiful ceremony out at the Bozyk house. So many familiar faces I haven't seen in years. The reception at the community center was great too. Loonie bar!! I think I only spent $3 though. People kept putting beers in my hand all night. Danced up a storm and closed the place down with my bro, Jeff.

Sunday, after a brief morning-recovery period. Jeff and I took the boat out to Pine Coulee for some wakeboarding. Nevin and Kyla made it down from Calgary and Erin and JD Kindt came out too. Amazing day. Blue sky, almost no wind. I managed to top up my tan that's been wasting away since leaving Thailand. Still can't land a backflip but I do a nice front flip off the bridge.

Other big news, I'm pretty much all moved in to the condo with Jeff, Nevin, and Dan. Set up my desk and computer last night, have new IKEA dresser and night stand, played some guitar, and chatted with Marie in London. (Skype rules by the way) It's time to really start living in Calgary now!
