Good morning, everyone!
I have a busy day ahead. Despite it being almost November, I have a tryout for the new semi-pro Ultimate team that begins here in Ottawa next summer. The weather does not look like it will be too cooperative, but we shall see how it goes!
In other news, I have been enjoying time with my dad. He's been in great spirits and we've just been hanging out. Earlier this week, he asked me if I wanted to go to the Ottawa Redblacks (Canadian Football League) game. He could get free box seats, food, and drinks. The game was last night. Instead, I had tickets to see "I Am Santa Claus" star and wrestling legend Mick Foley at Yuk Yuk's in Ottawa. I asked him if he wanted to join Mike (Kim and I's old roommate) and I at the show. He said he'd come along.
The show was excellent. Mick was hilarious. Mike and I were laughing uncontrollably for much of the show. My dad, who did not know many of the stories, also shared a few laughs, too. Before and after the show, Mick had a meet and greet with his fans. He signed memorabilia, 8x10 photos, and took photos with his fans.
As soon it was my turn, he said he loved my "Buddy The Elf" shirt. I told him that I was also a Christmas fanatic, and I may post on a Christmas forum to which he is also a member. He asked which one... I told him MyMerryChristmas.com. He only smiled at me. Such a great and genuine guy. It was nice to discuss a passion - other than wrestling - for a quick moment with a guy I watched on TV for much of my younger years.
Anyway, I should probably get some stuff ready. Have a great Saturday, everyone! The weekend is here! Let's all enjoy it.
