The Wonderdog and the Ferris Wheel

Hey guys,

This Saturday and Sunday, if you are looking for something to do, AJ The Wonderdog is trapped on the Ferris wheel at the Barrie Fair. So if you want to keep him company, make sure to say Hi to him. He also has a portable DVD player which was donated to him by one AWESOME anonymous donor *coughmecough*, so you guys can watch movies when you are up there.

He is there from 12 to 10 tomorrow, and then on Sunday 12 to 5, so do not miss him

Hello I'm a Mac. I'm a PC. I'm Jerry Seinfeld.

I do not understand Microsoft. These commercials have been on for so long and yet it is only now that they are doing something to combat against them? A little too late guys. So who is the combatant they have selected? It's none other then Jerry Seinfield. If this was the 90's, sure this would be an amazing marketing strategy, but this is the 00's (or whatever you call this era). Jerry does not quite cut it anymore. I know I am putting the horse before the cart (that's an old fashion term for saying I am getting ahead of myself), but I think Microsoft needs to rethink this strategy.

Road Trip Hilites

So you've checked out the pics from my trip, now for my recap of the hilites. The majority of our time was spent in Washington, and it was a blast. We toured the U.S. capital on segways, stopping at the White House, Capitol Building, Canadian Embassy and Washington Monument (basically all the tourist stops). The subway was super easy to use and super clean. That was a nice change compared to what we're used to. We also stopped in at Ebenezers Coffeehouse, which was another hilite. It's the kind of place I want to open up in Barrie, and visiting Ebenezers just stoked that fire.

The reason we took the trip was to see Yankee Stadium before it was turned into a parking lot, but Yankee Stadium wasn't the hilite I thought it would be. It was still sweet to visit the house that Ruth built, but not the surreal experience I was expecting. Maybe it was because it was pouring rain, or maybe because the fans and stadium employees were kinda cold. New Yorkers would consider it blasphamy, but the stadium 4 hours north won my vote more than Yankee Stadium. New York City was sweet though. We took a bus tour and visited Central Park, Ground Zero, Greenwich Village, SoHo and (of course) Times Square.

Boston was our last stop, and although we didn't spend time in the city, I won't forget the experience. We didn't have tickets to the game when we arrived, so we had to lineup outside and hope we could scoop up some game day sales (they hold 200 tix for the day of). Well there was over 1000 people in line before us. Uh oh. Long story short, we waited for 3 hours (other left the line in favor of scalped tickets) and scored seats right behind the plate! And it just got better! The fans were crazy! They were so loud and (shockingly) nice. It was probably the best experience I've had at a baseball game. I'd love to go back.

So the recap, Washington was sooooo much fun. New York was totally cool, but I'd never want to live there. And Boston was the best baseball experience of my life.

Road Trip Of Dreams

I just got back from a vacation that I will never forget. This is the last year for the Yankees to play in Yankee Stadium, and I wanted to experience "the house the Ruth built" before they tore it down. So (way back) in March Crystal and I planned a road trip down the east coast of the U.S. which included 4 stops at various baseball shrines. Baltimore, Washington, New York and Boston. What an amazing week! Check out the pics by clicking on the city name, and I'll give ya the recap tomorrow night.

Email Paranoia

I have no idea where this came from or why I do this, but I have a constant need to check my email. I almost think it is an addiction. This mostly happens when I am on the air, where I have to check it every time I do something. I stutter on the air, check the email. I say something (that I think) is funny and creative, check the email. Bad mouth the Toronto Maple Leafs, you guessed it, check the email.

I am not sure if I really do have a paranoia or I am just self conscious, but if I go more then 30 minutes without looking at the thing, I will shake, quite literally

BTW... if you do ever want to email me. It's junky@lifeonline.fm
