Hockey Humour

Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in a park in Toronto, when one is attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his stick, wedges it down the dogs collar and twists, breaking the dog's neck. A reporter strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Leafs Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Leafs fan," the little hero replied. "Sorry, since we are in Toronto, I just assumed you were" said the reporter and he starts again. "Little Jays Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Attack," he continued writing in his notebook. "I'm not a Jays fan either," the boy said. "I assumed everyone in Toronto was either a Leafs or Jays fan. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked "I'm a Montreal Canadiens fan." the child said. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes,"Little French Bas...

Medical Update

I made my first trip to the CLSC (centre local de services communautaires) yesterday since my last visit 11 months ago. Dr. Atkins at the Multiple Myeloma Clinic has put me back on a monthly IV drip of pamidronate. The drug is used by myeloma patients to strengthen their bones. So I've now begun monthly applications. While there Helene, my cancer nurse, drew blood and will pass along the results to both Dr. Atkins and my GP, Dr. Granger. I'm still waiting to hear from the province on the reinstatement of my driver's license. Dr. Granger filled in the appropriate form and sent it off 3 weeks ago. I called the SAAQ (Quebec's license bureau) yesterday and they told me they were still considering my application for reinstatement. Funny, they were awfully quick to act when they took my license away last August. We were in Toronto last weekend for a quick visit with Jim and Lucille. We had a wonderful dinner Saturday night at a place called Miller's Tavern, preceeded by ...
