June - A really good month.

I really love summer - so much to do, and I have been busy. June has been really busy.....I love sports....so summer and sports.....makes for a great month.

June 8.

My Brother Steve (tippy) and I took part in the DOVE Lacrosse Marathon fundraiser.

Hats off to Jim Zacher and the rest of the DOVE (Determined to Oppose Violence everywhere)
who raised some funds for Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness.

I left at 2am.....and the score was close.

June 15

Friends of ours....Mike and Michelle organized a little nine and dine. (for those of you that don't golf - that means 9 holes of golf followed by dinner) = a great way to spend a night with friends.

I  have played a lot of golf in my day, but when I saw Mike have a radio on the golf cart....well, that was a first.

....as a matter of fact.....on the ninth hole....with nobody behind us on the course, all 8 of us finished the last hole together.

June 23

The 26th Annual Green Jacket Golf Tournament held in Burlington and hosted by Strongheart.

This was my first chance to do 18 holes with my new golf clubs that I purchased from Ollie Golf in Ajax, Ontario.....this was the first leg of the tournament.

                                             Michelle, Patti, Laura and Norah

Ollie, Warren, me and Stu

Dennis, Scott, Tippy and Fry

Leader after this round.....with his new clubs.......Me. You heard it right. - Tied with my Bro!

June 24

Went on a hike with my best girl Patti. We went up on the Bruce Trail in Burlington.....way, way up on top of the escarpment....it was beautiful....spectaculor......special.

....and I asked her to marry me.....and she said YES!!

June - was areally good month.

Miami Heat - Oklahoma City

The NBA finals are about to begin. NBA fans are a little difficult to find in my group of friends. I guess incredible athletes do amazing things is boring to some people.....I always get the same old line.....oh, just tune in to the last 2 minutes and that is all you need to see. Um.......no!

I guess the same thing could be said of the NHL Playoffs....don't need to watch the game....just watch the OT.....whats the difference?

For me anyway....like most people the outcome of the game is important, of course.....but when you are talking about the best athletes in the world....if you don't watch the whole game, you do not know what you are missing baby.......Showtime! I love the NBA Finals.

Russel Westbrook is the 6'3" 23 year old guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder.......

                                                  He is a phenomenal young athletic talent.

 How about Kevin Durant? He is also 23, 6'9" absolute superstar in this league.....you need to watch every minute to see what this guy can do.

                                                       Mr. Durant has some hops.

On the other side of the ball, there are three.......players, known simply as D Wade and Lebron and Chris Bosh. Chris has been hurt.....but is back now.....and might be a factor.

Is anyone out there cheering for Miami? If so why? It is hard for me to cheer for cockiness (Miami) over hustle and heart (OKC).....so I guess you know what I think.


Enjoy, should be a wild show.


Simple. OKC in 6 games.
