Last Thursday, I returned to the stage as a stand up comedian. I was entertaining the Prairie Spirit School Division Foundation at Greenbryre Golf and Country Club. I was supposed to perform at 6:05. I was still in the washroom dressing when I heard the emcee introduce me. I was literally caught with my pants down. The other surprise was finding out I would be speaking to a younger crowd of company reps rather than an older, baby boomer crowd. However, the audience was very responsive. They got my jokes and laughed at the appropriate times.
Mary and I enjoyed the Rider game on Sunday. There really isn't a bad seat in the new stadium. Getting to the stadium by city transit was a breeze, but getting back to Northgate Plaza took a long time.
I am getting ready to host Mary's 30th birthday party on Saturday. I wonder if the attendees are interested in ukulele lessons.

September 23
I am off to see the new Mosaic Stadium tomorrow with Mary. Hopefully, the game won't be a sack beating at the hands of the Stampeders. Last weekend, I closed up the trailer for the season and hopefully, there will be no little mouse visitors like I had last winter.
I am not sure whether I mentioned in an earlier post, but Haley and Dustin sold their acreage and will be moving to their new home in Saskatoon on September 30.
Mary was in Tisdale with two Hanley students on Thursday and Friday for a student leadership conference. She took the time to visit my Mom who lives in a senior's highrise. Yes, Tisdale has a high rise apartment complex for seniors.

September 4
Yes, I am still alive. The highlights of August 2017 are as follows:
1. I went to "The Center of the Universe" for Kelvington's Agricultural Fair on the August long weekend. I haven't been to the fair in years. Of course, I haven't changed in appearance, but everyone else from Kelvington looks different. Thanks to the hospitality of my adopted big sister, Diane Rennie, I had a place to hang my hat while in Kelvington. On the Saturday of the long weekend, traveled with my brother, Vince, and his wife to some of the old familiar haunts northeast of Kelvington...Skipton's Corner, Kinloch, High Tor, Round Lake, and Perigord. On the Sunday, I went to Barrier Ford where my mom grew up. I kayaked the mighty Barrier River until a Castorian construction crew obstructed the river. I finished the day by visiting my mother in Tisdale. The cinnamon buns were served, as expected.
2. I also took in the Saskatoon Exhibition with two three year olds, a five year old, a six year old, and a 10 month old baby. Good times. On August 19, I took in Rock the River. A friend booked a hotel room at The Bessborough...great way to to take in a rock concert-six stories up.
3. On August 24, I went to Winnipeg then on to Steinbach, MN for a wedding, then spent a week at White Shell Provincial Park where I enjoyed swimming, biking, kayaking, hiking, and eating. More good times.
4. Tomorrow marks the beginning of hockey season. The lungs are going to get a workout for sure. I have been playing ball twice a week and getting other types of exercise, but nothing prepares a person for the rigors of 60 Plus hockey. I may cough up a lung.
