Ahhhhh to Dream

Hello …
It is just after 12 AM on Friday morning. I am sucking on a maple sugar candy that I took from the Brookes family tonight after an excellent supper.
It occurred to me that we all have wish lists.
Apart form bringing back the dead, here (in no particular order) is mine. There is neither three nor ten.
Some of them are only limited my winning the Loto Max.
I would enjoy being in Times Square for the passing into a New Year.
I’d like to co host with Dave, Dan, Mike, & Louis the Trivia Show on CJAD
I’d like to be important enough not to need a passport
I THINK I’d like to meet David Letterman (after I walked on to, Still Crazy After All These Years being played by Paul & the band)
Own Season tickets for the Montréal Canadians
Drive a big ass Lincoln Town Car (black of course)
So no order but now.... you know

I Feel the Earth Move

Early this after noon the earth moved for me.
It wasn’t a big truck going by or Herb my fat neighbor coming come.
It was an honest to goodness earth quake. The quake registered a five on the Rictor scale, but all reports are that no serious human were reported.
I was on my computer and the desk shook for what I would guess maybe ten seconds. (turns out it coulda been up to thirty seconds)
When it was all over my MSN Messenger came alive with a message from Justin who asked “did you feel that?” indeed I had.
CJAD went on with special coverage of the event.
I am waiting for the after shocks. I have of course took emergency measures making sure the Chivas bottle isn’t too close to the end of the counter.
I think the real earth moving will start in forty-eight hours when the Montreal Jazz Fest ignites.

Hi it's Monday

May God add to your blessings, subtract from your worries, multiply your friendships and divide the wonders of the universe among all people.

Yvon

I just returned from funeral visitations for M. Yvon Desbiens.
M. Desbiens is the father of Jocelyne Brookes, who was the wife of my very dear friend Wayne.
Although a somber occasion there were family and friends enjoying each others company.
M. Desbiens was a kind and loving man. He loved his family unconditionally, and didn’t hesitate to put others before himself. He at the time of his death still volunteered at a residence where he was scheduled to stay out his final years. Time was not to allow this.
M. Desbiens attended many family functions that I was privileged to attend. He was always surrounded by the children, a hug was always available.
I don’t remember calling him Yvon. He was M. Desbiens.
My thoughts today are of his family.
It was my honour to know him, and my blessing to know his family (& I can’t remember all the names, it’s a huge list)
He is now in Heaven with his wife, his son, and Wayne.
Rest in peace M. Desbiens May the family be spared further sorrow.
