Len and Peter
The picture above of me and my son Peter, was taken a few years ago at Cape Breton Highlands golf course. Golf aficionados know exactly which hole this was taken on. As the days lengthen and thoughts turn to spring, I thought a picture showing grass might make you feel better today. On a related matter, we are going to travel to Orlando in a few weeks to watch the Bay Hill Arnold Palmer Invitational. Tiger has been struggling with his game so we’re going to hang out at the practice range at the beginning of the week and see if we can get him straightened out before The Masters.
Are you suffering from an Olympics hangover? Two weeks of compelling television replaced by Buffalo and Carolina this past Tuesday is a bit hard to stomach. It was interesting talking to different people about their Sunday morning experiences watching the gold medal hockey game for men. It would appear that just about everybody’s eating and drinking habits were somewhat askew. Several people admitted that it wasn’t since their college days that they had their first drink of the day at 8:00 a.m. I had pizza hot out of the oven at 9:30 which has to rate as a first for me. In any event, it was a lot of fun to watch and lots of great memories.
I am very pleased to report that I have five teams committed for the Thursday hot meal plan due to be launched in early May. I have decided to try and get 11 in total. The program won’t operate in July and August so we need to cover about 44 weeks. If you do the math ( I know it’s early in the morning but I know you remember your times tables ), that would mean that each team would only have to commit to 4 meals a year, hardly an onerous task. My phone line is always open so if you want to captain a team, private message me on FB, e-mail me ( len.macdonald@eastlink.ca ) or call me at 870-1125.
I am also putting together the pieces for my fundraiser in aid of the hot meal plan. In case you missed it, the show , called “The Week45 Express” will roll into the Schwartz Auditorium on Thursday, April 24th. It will be an evening of story telling and music. The room is booked, the poster is being designed and I’m lining up corporate sponsors to help defray some of the costs so that I can give 100% of the proceeds to fund the Thursday hot meal program. Please mark it on your calendar. It’s the Thursday after Easter and you’ll all be ready for a night out after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights.
Coming Saturday, “Salt of the Earth.”
Have a great weekend.
