Broken...

Well, I have suffered my first bone break ever. Broke my foot on Sunday kicking a base of all things. I didn't think anything of it - figured it was a bad sprain. But when the doctor looking at my X-ray said "Hmm, that's interesting" I knew something was wrong.

And while the pain is slowly going away, I'll find out tomorrow if I need surgery to screw the chip back into place.

The worst part is that I can't drive, which is frustrating because I have to inconvenience a lot of players.

As a result, I want to thank Girlfriend and her family for helping me out.

A la Montreal

Humidity aside...

The big news *drum roll please* is that the Girlfriend and I have made the one year mark. Doesn't feel like a year but at the same time it feels like a long time ago as my head space was a lot different then.

We decided to celebrate by going to Montreal. And had a blast. I have never really spent time in Montreal that I could enjoy. I love going to Quebec as it feels like I'm in Europe especially when visiting old Montreal or old Quebec City. I definitely want to make it more of a regular thing. And I have to thank the girlfriend for let me indulge in some inane things like going to Schwartz's (I didn't know it would take so long! - I might want to go back if we go again, but next time we know better), going to St-Viateur and going to Lachine. Aside from the crack whore taking a puff in front of us, I think I enjoyed Vieux-Montreal the most as well as Quartier Latin. The St. Lawrence River tour and the walk around Mont-Royal was nice. Though next time there probably won't be a need to do so much touristy stuff and can't do some partying and relaxing by Lac aux Castors. I'm already thinking about the next trip.

Anyway, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Thanks for bringing fun back into my life. I can honestly say it's been one of the best years of my life.

Humidity causes my brain to melt...

I can't believe I haven't been able to update this as frequently as I would have liked this summer. You figure you have all this time, but no, you really don't. Busy season at work, the weather is nice, you try to get into shape, going away for weekends, impending move - all this stuff gets in the way.

Let's get this out of the way. I hate humidity.

I've still been running. Though not as frequently as I would like. I have another 5k run coming up - Toronto Island - that I'm trying to prepare for. I've had some good runs but the weather has played havoc on my schedule. I can't wait until the weather cools down.
