By mid-afternoon I'll be somewhere on the road that runs behind my trailer with bocce balls in hand, practicing for the 2011 Jeff Laird Memorial Bocce Tournament.
Yes, its that time of year again, when all the trailerites gather for the annual battle that stretches throughout most of Saturday and ends with a huge pot luck feast.
This year I'm offering barbequed pork tenderloin with Jamaican spice. Not necessarily jerk spice you knuckleheads, a different spice that got rave reviews when I served it several weeks ago.
Have I told you that I'm the only two time winner of the Jeff Laird? Yup, I am. Many have won it once, nobody besides me has won it twice, and I've come oh so close to winning it a third and fourth time.
It's a bastardized version of the classic Italian game. We play with plastic balls and we go up and down a dirt road. There's no bordered pitch, just wide open space that provides an adventure at every turn.
It's gonna be a great weekend, the last long weekend of the summer, chance for all of us to get together for one last blast, and this weekend will be highlighted by a visit from Humble Howard and his sweet girlfriend Amanda.
Hope the weather co-operates.
As of Tuesday, we all have to get serious again. For some reason Labour Day does that to you. The fun season comes to an end and we all have to focus on what makes the fun times possible.
It will be a different winter for Humble and I. We're about to embark on a new venture that will be fully explained over the next week or so. If it works, it will be every radio announcers dream.
A show with no restrictions, no regulation and nobody asking why you went an extra 37 seconds on that last break.
If it doesn't work I've got my eye on the plumbing section at Home Depot. It's only two minutes from my house and apparently they have good benefits.
Stayed tuned because we're on the verge of launching a website that will begin to explain everything, including how we need you to help us out.
As for CanadianThinker.com it may change in the coming weeks as well as my focus switches from one thing to another. CT has been great therapy and exercise but it might be time to move on.
One thing I promise. There will be no time given to the provincial election. After eight years of Dalton McGuinty I know who I'm voting for, and I figure those who haven't come to the same conclusion are probably beyond help, so what's the use goin' on about it.
Come Tuesday, its time to turn the corner and give it a shot - I hope you come along for the ride.
But for now, I have to concentrate on my game. How do you like my form?
