A Cool Personal Olympic Update
So, this is what’s been going on with me the last couple of days: My family and I went to the Canada vs Switzerland hockey game on Thursday. Canada won in a shootout. Sweet. I don’t use the word “euphoria” very often, but in this case, it applies. On the way to the game I got interviewed by one of the free local daily newspapers.
Granted, the only reason I’m in this thing is because I look like a clown, but still, getting in a newspaper is pretty awesome and clearly, from what I’m wearing, I know how to pick a winner.
Here’s a question: What the hell am I doing with my hands? It’s like I’m the Kool-Aid man and I’ve just busted through the brick wall in behind. Ohhhh yeahhh!!!
This marks the second time I’ve made it into this particular publication. The first time, I was on the cover, somewhat blurred out, in the background, playing Dodge-ball when they were doing a feature on my team. Like I said, free daily paper.
Once we got into the stadium, some random dude came up to my brothers and I and asked if he could get his picture taken with us.
Turns out this guy was Canadian Olympic snowboarding gold medal winner and lover of the chronic, Ross Rebagliati. When semi-celebrities are asking you for photos, that’s when you know you’re doing something right.
My conclusion: I’m getting a lot of mileage out of my hat.

So much good poses, gear and beards going on. The only let down is Ross’ outfit. Why wasn’t he wearing his gold medal?
