Saturday night – movie night !

Arghhh… once again Myspace has eaten my (nearly) complete blog entry and forced me to re-type.. I have done my cursing oo-fline and will attempt to retype what I entered before !…  (grrrrrrrrrrr)

So.. we woke today to a new month.. December.. can it really be December already ?   I guess so.. it feels cold enough to be.  One good thing about December is Advent calendars.. In this family, we try to take the best aspects of all of our cultures.. Advent calendar this week, potatoe pankakes next week, christmas in 3 weeks.. wow…

I particulalry like this new advent calendar. You get to put your own stuff in it.. so we had choclate kisses and dog boscuts this morning.. I’m thinking A-1 sauce for tomrrow. I’ll let you know if anything really wierd shows up .

Diane and I worked together most of the morning trying to get the house back in some order after all the events of the last week and a half. It was fun workign around the house.. it was a sunny and very cold day.. the perfect kind for being inside.. Though.. too much inside is too much. Around 2 we took Gabe up to Bolton and Dinae, Chai and I went out for a Snowshoe at Bolton lower quad.. It was a beutiful day to be ut.. cold. (8 degrees and blowing) but enough sunshine that we were ok in a windbreaker and sweater.


I liek this iew from Bolton back over towards our house. Robins mountin in our back yard is the left most hump in this picture

The trails a re a reat palce to Snowshoe.. I like the name of this one.


We got home very cold and tired around 4:30.. Around 6:30 we got back in the car to go to the Jericho Community Center (JCC)  for Movie Night. Burt D, his son Angus.. and freinds Max E.  and Alex L had organized a showing at the JCC. the  with all proceeds goign to the Sam Cohn Fund (thank you so much guys !) .

There was no missing the fact that the event was on.. 5 signs dragged in quite a crowd



I esteimate that there were between 110 and 120  people there..

People were still coming in at 7PM .. so Kevin got up and did his Kevin immitations.. as only he can do.. He is one wierd and funny dude.

the first movie was ‘Fly’ by Sam R. and Garrod. It was great ! There were so many of Sam’s friends in it.. I kept expecting to see Sam…. I liked the fact that they included our pnd skimming porate ship into their movie.

Next up was the ‘ToGnar’ (totally gnarly) project by Angus D, Burt D, Max E, Alex L. and …  It was a history of the 2006-2007 ski/board season.. I loved the images and music in this one, too. They also had a sequence of the pirate ship as the credits rolled.

They had a great dedication equence to Sam at the end..   Choked me up a bit.

The last film, ‘Push Rewind’ was by Nick S. It had amazing camera work, and editing.. really professional quality.. It also was dedicated to Sam.. which was a reallly good surprise for us. I’ll try to get a copy of the dedication sequence for me to post when I get a sec.    Irelaized that I kept moving my vest away from my Sam buttin soe Sam could ‘see’ the movies.. it’s a funny instinct.

The last movie was over at around 9.. It was really a great evening.. Our thanks to all the folks who made it posssible ! We took gabe’s friend Dylan home then came back to the house.. it’s only about 7 degrees aout now.. and supposed to be gettign much colder tonight !.. Bundle up everyone !

Stay warm everyone.. stay cool Sam !
