the bmi-opener…
A few months ago I decided (stupidly I might add) to check out my BMI number. That is, my Body Mass Index number which is calculated based on a person’s height and weight and determines the overall general fitness of an individual. So I found an online BMI calculator, punched in my towering height of 5-10 and the even more impressive number of 238 pounds for my weight, and got a BMI number of just over 34. “Hmm,” I thought, “I wonder if it’s good when your BMI number is less than your age?” Read More »

hiatt, toews and holidays…
I can’t believe it’s been six weeks since I last blogged, I thought it was more like three weeks! Time really does fly when you’re having fun. In fact spring felt extra special this year, not exactly sure why though…. Well if you’re not a Blackhawks fan that was five minutes you’ll never get back. [...]
I’m kind of a big deal…
Just a snippet of what I’ve been up to over my holidays – I’ve been in the local paper, on yahoo.ca, tsn.ca, nhl.com and the local news. But this link is highlight for sure. More details on this later. For now I just wanted to get the link out before it disappeared! http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=534272

blackhawks in film…
Easily the most popular jersey in the NHL, the Indian head logo has even graced the Silver Screen – I would guess more times than any other NHL hockey team logo. Want proof?
chi-town all a buzz…
Starting tomorrow night my Chicago Blackhawks will be playing a best of 7 series for the hockey’s holy grail – The Stanley Cup! To say that I’m excited is an understatement. To say that I’m nervous is an even bigger understatement. The Hawks haven’t won the Cup since the 1960-61 season which is the longest [...]
redemption…
As I posted earlier this week I had a brutal week away from home in terms of my weight – I gained 5-pounds in one week! Well I worked my tail off Monday night (literally it seems) which included the elliptical trainer and some work on the newly hung punching bag. I over did it [...]
what han solo was really thinking…
Thanks to a Star Wars fan with far too much time on his hands (no not me!), we now know through some editing and added music, what Han Solo was really thinking during this scene:
saskabush…
Spent most of this week on a work trip to Saskachewan which has proven to be very costly! Weighed in this morning and have put on 4lbs since Monday morning proving that what you eat in Saskatchewan doesn’t stay in Saskatchewan! But I guess that’s what happens when you eat at restaurants three meals a [...]
i grew tired…
The wind took it’s toll on me today, gusting to 45-km and was once again directly into my face for the start of my ride. I was supposed to put 25-km in today but cut it short at 15 km. I had had enough! I had a bad feeling when I left the house but [...]
