DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Thankfully my part of the island was spared any snow, but central/west unbelievably did get around 30cm of snow. It's still been dang cold here the last few days, only a few degrees above freezing. I'll be the first to admit the weather in these parts is not the best, but this is out of the ordinary. I guess it really is "climate change" and not "global warming"...

Yuck. We had the opposite. Set a record on the 24th for hottest day. Reached 33C.

Happy Saturday. It's another beautiful day.

I did the Markles sparkles thing last week.
.

Is that a British perk? Everyone gets to do Markles Sparkles? I'll defect. Was it your turn last week, 007?

Top O the Mornin Dads from Chicago. Had a great first two days here especially a Cubs win yesterday. Drank from 10:00 am to 9:00 yesterday and ate my weight in hot dogs, sausages and Italian beefs. Posted some pics on the other site as it’s way easier. Got One more Cubs game tonight then back home tomorrow to dry out and diet. Have a great weekend guys.

Looks like you have been having a great time.

The run of summer basketball tournaments have begun. We travelled to Prince Edward Island for the first of three tournaments for the team Declan is playing with. 2 and 0 so far with 1 game left later tonight to finish off the pool play. It should come down to deciding 1st in the pool and probably the only competitive game in the pool. The first two games have been pretty lopsided.
.

Good luck to Declan. How's he doing?

Morning Gents, I am alive. Cold but alive. Work has been kicking me in the pants yet again. Didn't leave the office until 7pm last night. Definitely missed the Friday night monorail loop pub crawl, hope you boys enjoyed it.
I skimmed over 6 pages of chatter. Didn't see too much strife, apart from Norm's knee. Could there be an ECV tour of WDW in your future ]?

Not much new to report here. Dance competitions are finally done (4 out of 5 weekends was a bit too much). The cat has recovered from her spaying and was quite glad to get the cone of shame removed after a week.
...

We've debated the ECV. Still haven't heard on MRI appeal but an trying to walk more each day. Glad you made it through another series of dance competitions.

Afternoon Guys,

The run of summer basketball tournaments have begun. We travelled to Prince Edward Island for the first of three tournaments for the team Declan is playing with. 2 and 0 so far with 1 game left later tonight to finish off the pool play. It should come down to deciding 1st in the pool and probably the only competitive game in the pool. The first two games have been pretty lopsided.

Hope you all have a good one.

Enjoy and say hi to the Kings for us.

Good luck to Declan. How's he doing?

He's doing well. The coach of this team is also his high school coach. At the end of the high school season they had their year-end meetings and the coach told him he wanted him to work on playing getting comfortable playing all three front court positions and possible the shooting guard spot as well. This weekend is really the first time he has had to play mostly in the three spot. It means he has to be a bit more active in the offence and he's enjoying the challenge.

Hope your knee is getting better and it doesn't put a damper on the trip.

It is pretty hard to move in PEI without seeing something with Anne of Green Gables attached to it.

Thanks. I'm doing my best not to whine too much.

Good to hear about Declan playing the 3. I knew he had some height and played defense, but the game is going away from the low post game. I did enjoy watching Olajuwan play though.

Good to hear about the knee and the whining.

He played mostly the 4 and 5 through the winter with a little time at the 3. The 3 is probably the spot he needs to be if he's going to keep playing after high school. The 2 spot may be a bit of a stretch but we'll see.

If anyone’s watching the Champions league final, anyone who dislikes Liverpool will play that goal for ever

No mate, the Benzema one. The Bale first goal is one of the best goals I’ve ever seen

Thankfully Fly Emirates beat Standard Chartered. At least the pope is safe for another year.
