WOOHOO!!!!!  This past Sunday, Lance Armstrong won a SIXTH consecutive Tour de France!  Greg's glad the "ordeal" is finally over.    Geez,  these guys race 2000 kilometres PLUS in 21 days, Lance kicks ass by more than 6 minutes over his nearest competitor, it's the second most watched sporting event in the WORLD (next to the World Cup) and Greg has the "guts" to have the opinion that it's not a sport.   Jerk!!!  I'd like to see any of his beloved hockey or football players last ONE day in the Tour, let alone finish it!

In other news Tantie aka deafed aka Sharon (my Zone buddy)  came to vist last week.  We visited the casino (of course), shopped, and went for pedicures.  Fun fun...

 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...
I am "Host of the Month" (HOM) for Lightning Gammon. For those of you who don't know, I host backgammon tournaments on Zone.com, with a cool bunch of people, in a group called "Lightning Gammon". This the group I went to Vegas to meet back in April.

As part of my "duties" as HOM, each host runs a macro saying who the Host and Player of the month are (I dont run the HOM in my tournies, but that doesn't stop the other hosties from doing when they're in them!! ;) I also do an "interview". It's here.

Lots of news...

Over the Canada Day weekend, I went to visit Kristen and Alan. Visited some nice wineries, bought some yummy fruit wine, and visited Casino Niagara. I bought some chocolate but it was all melty by the time I got it home. "Clusters" that I bought at Picard's Peanuts are now a clump that Greg smoooshed and declared a chocolate "bar".

This past weekend, Greg's family came over to celebrate Sean's birthday. Lots of food, drink (take a peek in the empty liquor cainet, lol) and fun were had by all. Of course we had to make a visit to Casino Windsor.

In other news, Brenda's Birthday stalker strikes again!! For those of you who remember, last year I sent Brenda bunches of bunches of e-cards in the ten days leading up to her birthday. She received so many that she thought she was being stalked. Look at the July 23rd, 2003 entry in 2003 News page for the full story. This year, I repeated the process, but convinced Brenda that I would NEVER pull the same prank twice. Yesterday (her birthday), I sent her a link to this page to see who her cyberstalker was. This was her response. To soften the blow, I invited the Grad House gang to dinner as a surprise.

Today I received my order from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, makers of custom perfume blends. Among the samples I ordered...Gluttony...Hunger...Lust...de Sade...RoadHouse...Pain...Vice. I wonder what Freud would have to say about this?

This weekend one of my Zone.com hostie buddies is coming to visit. More details later... stay tuned.
