Each year since returning to Canada full-time in 2007, I have counted the poppies I see people wearing from the day the poppy campaign begins until 11am on November 11th. I'd tally up the count, donate 0.10$ per poppy, and send a cheque to a local veterans organization.
It used to be a sizeable donation.
In recent years, I've noticed my poppy count decreasing. I worry sometimes that people have begun to forget the past. I worry that we will soon relive their horrors in our future.
I don't base my donation on poppy counts anymore. And I no longer wait until Remembrance day arrives to make them.
I am changing too. Hopefully, for the better.

Hell yeah, baby! They played a GREAT series and really stepped it up. Who’s in Emery’s gear??? And who gave that Schubert guy permission to stop composing classical music???
Seriously. The Sens were great.
Watch out next year. Sid the Kid and The Wonder Twins with this experience under their belt?
I can hardly wait!

At least you had a post season. After being the “little team that could” and surprising everyone with their cup run in ’06, the Oil didn’t do much of anything (except lose) in ’07. Here’s to a better season for both of our teams.

I hear you, girlfriend… but… be sure you stop in my place today. I’m teasing you! 😀

Ah, to be young again… Sydney’s quite the cutie 😉

Not saying a word. My guys swept their series, so I’ll just sit here and gloat for a while. (Hey, let me enjoy it while I can. These opportunities are few and far between as a NYR fan.)

Hmmm, wonder who Robin’s NYR are playing next?

I’m happy as long as there’s a Canadian team still in it. I’m still lamenting the Canadiens washout.
Sigh…
