Hmmm....Where to Begin???

Recently, I have gotten a little bit of flack in regards to my lack of postings...I can't argue, it has been a while, but I've been keeping myself busy. I have taken up spinning with some friends (gotta give Ashley much props here!). I honestly didn't think I was going to like it and quite frankly, I was kinda nervous...Okay allow me to retract that last comment, I was nervous as hell! Picture it, a smoker (for over 15 years), someone who is really out of shape, and to top it off, someone who gets distracted very easily (me likes them shiny objects!!!), stepping on a stationary bicycle for approximately an hour and pedalling like I'm being chased! However, the first class came and went, and I haven't looked back since. It's still tough sometimes to conjure up the motivation head there after work, but once on the bike, it's a whole different feeling. It also helps too that my friends are there as well...We tend to make it a really fun time! Not to mention the fun afterwards over at the Wheat Sheaf once class is done. Good conversation, refreshing beverages and decent food (for the most part), although you can't go wrong with their half price wings :)

Aside from spinning, I was on vacation last week...I know what you must be thinking, he's not making a good argument for not posting since the first week of July. True indeed, but I really haven't been around much to sit and post. Been to Peterborough the last two weekends, had a golf tournament up in Alliston, went to Canada's Wonderland and been out to the movies with Bren. Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention, had house paint splattered on my car because some tool left the back hatch open on his Pathfinder while flying down the Gardiner Expressway. Because of that, a full paint can happened to roll out of his trunk, splatter on the highway right beside where I was driving and 'SPLAT', all over the side of my car. Luckily though, I was able to get the majority of it off. Hopefully within time, the rest will wear off. Maybe if I wouldn't have gone home first to have a sandwich or two (c'mon, I was hungry), and went directly to a car wash, I might've been able to remove the rest of it before it had a chance to bake on...But oh well, as I said before, I was hungry.

Well, hopefully I'll post a little more frequently....No promises though, but I'll give it a valiant effort! Until then, keep cool and hope this crazy humidity goes away!

P.S. - The house I'm renting is for sale...Nothing like strangers walking through your apartment when you're not home and leaving doors unlocked and all the lights on! Urgh! My apologies, just needed to vent!

Cheers!
