Well well well….

Lookee here – it’s the first of June, a month which is named ( I believe) after junipers – some sort of common tree or shrubbery. Not sure why Conan O’Brien would choose to launch his version of the Tonight Show in a month named after greenery – maybe it’s the Irish in him?You know, that could just about make sense, with my questionable system of logic…

Speaking of that very system of logic – this week is clearly my “Week Of Major Volunteering”. It all started with Mrs. That Dan Guy and I helping out yesterday at the HSBC Marathon, at one of the water stations for runners. Man, I will confess - even just watching all the runners I was fatigued to the point of needing to come straight home afterwards, and recuperate in a lawn chair with a cold beer for the entire afternoon – that exercise stuff is STRENUOUS!!

We did that to help out the Canadian Diabetes Association, for which I am a volunteer. I have three more commitments this week for them – doing a couple of presentations, and a display at a local library. Unlike some of those other glamorous diseases, the CDA doesn’t have like a giant plastic lung that I can stand beside – just traditional posters and display material. I could have a lot of fun chatting people up beside a giant plastic lung…

Now, why was that an example of my wacky logic? Well, let’s get back to that in a minute. We’ll take a side road to arrive at that destination.

1)      At the marathon yesterday, MTDG had to move a box of supplies. A box that was marked in felt pen with a big #11.

2)      Also at the marathon, MTDG just happened to hand out a wet sponge (you do that at marathons – I’d be tossing that aside in favour of a cold beer) to runner #1111!!

3)      GM stocks are currently valued at around $1.11 (I didn’t make that up).

4)      The street address number of the library I’m presenting at this morning is 11131 – essentially 1111 with a 3 that wandered in accidentally.

WHAT IS IT WITH 1111??????????????????????????????????

And there we have my questionable system of logic, tied in to how numbers continue to haunt me…

Chow for now!!
