Laughter, Atari and Body Slams

First off...I had a chance to see the very funny Gerry Dee at the Westin in Halifax on Saturday night. To sum him up in one word...hilarious! If you are not familiar with Gerry...he was on NBC's "Last Comic Standing", "Trailer Park Boys: The Movie"...he's "The Sports Reporter" on TheScore and he is currently the guy on the Toyota commerical playing with a voodoo doll on his front step(...you know the one where his neighbour spills some coffee or something in his car, and the guy walks away with pins in his back). If you didn't get a chance to see one of his sold-out shows last weekend, he said he'll be back in November...you HAVE to go see him, he was great. He also has a DVD out called "No Reading Ahead" which he signed for me and I can't wait to watch it.

What a Kentucky Derby!! That's right...once the Pittsburgh-Washington game wrapped up...it was time to watch Paris Hilton go hat shopping for 2 hours...then yes...there was a horse race...and what a race it was. In case you missed it: Mine That Bird, a horse favored only 50-1, became the second-biggest underdog to win the Kentucky Derby. Purchased for only $9,500 and ridden by jockey Calvin Borel, the horse pulled away from the pack toward the end of the run and won by almost seven lengths. It was quite a race.

Thanks for all of your support at "The Valley's Largest Yard Sale" yesterday! We raised a whole bunch-load of money for Relay for Life and camp Brigadoon. And...I was very excited about this year's purchases. Last year...it was a stuffed ALF...which I knew would be hard to beat. Well I think I came close...an Original Nintendo Entertainment System and an Atari. I can't wait until next year!
