| 13th July 2009 Ben | - From: 4 days in Sweden, down $1000 and 0 IKEA sightings Well you may have been made aware already but since you wrote about the canadiens I thought I would update you. You are lucky (sort of) they didn't sign the Sedins (Vancouver did) or Kovalev (Ottawa did !) but they have done some strange things. Traded Higgins and McDonaugh for Scott Gomez (big salary pickup) and another defense man prospect. Then they signed Brian Gionta and Mike Cammalerri. So basically they decided to go with the "nobody over 5 foot 8" tactic. Ooops, except for Hal Gill, which brings up the average I guess. Since then they have signed Travis Moen (good pickup) and Paul Mara. overall not bad, but a little confusing. |
| 13th July 2009 Uncle Ross | Red Bull? - From: Bull running you say? Hi Mike, Just saw in the AM paper today that a local was not so lucky in his attempt to run with the bulls. A bull got off script and started running the other way looking for people he missed when he went by the first time. Must have been a blast running with them and to only get a bruise is not too much of a price to pay. Saw your folks etc and Sir Paul in Halifax Sat. He put on a great show, another must see event for your "to do" list. Take care, Uncle Ross |
| 12th July 2009 mom | I had a feeling..... - From: Bull running you say? Okay, I should have known....I read a few articles online and in the paper about this year's running of the bulls and SOMETHING was niggling at me ......but I did NOT put two and two together until Thursday of last week when I sat bolt upright in the middle of the night thinking "MIKE and BULLS"....I should have known. Stay safe Mike and have fun! Love Mom |
| 7th July 2009 Mom | Sounds like Europe is treating you well! - From: 4 days in Sweden, down $1000 and 0 IKEA sightings Glad to hear that you are having a great time in Europe....better you than me at all those concerts! Love Mom xo |
| 25th June 2009 Mom | Someone has to keep you on the right track! - From: Oh Poseidon, why have you chosen to rain out my holidays? Hi Mike...I guess she was just trying to help you out although I am a little curious as to why she decided to pray for you....are you looking particularly evil these days? I really would have stuck up for you! Sounds like you are continuing to have fun and your pictures are just great...Take care honey! Love you. Mom xo |

| 18th March 2009 Mom | absolutely gorgeous - From: A barbarian at the gates I am looking at pictures right now...it is absolutely incredible...just what I imagined a beautiful beach would look like! However, the article I was reading said that half the year you have to seriously consider wearing a stinger suit before entering the briny, due to random flights of toxic jellies (yes, the deadliest critter in the world, land or sea, but lycra suits are usually provided by tour vessels.) Be very careful Mike....but have lots of fun! |
| 18th March 2009 Mel | WTF Spider! - From: A barbarian at the gates GAH!!! I just did a google search of this Huntsman Spider you speak of...big effing mistake. :| |

| 6th March 2009 Nix | Byron Bay - From: Hittin the beach Byron Bay!!! Sweet man. I've visited Byron Bay many times....and I've never actually been to Australia, if you're picking up what I'm putting down. Another rule to add to your list courtesy of the well-traveled Homer J Simpson....avoid the simultaneous eating of nuts and chewing of gum!! |
| 6th March 2009 Mom | - From: Hittin the beach Hi honey: I loved the part about the koalas....how is the surfing coming? Are you able to stay up on the board? And are you eating good food? I don't think that I have read anything about the meals you have been having. Take care..love you. xo |

| 4th March 2009 Ben Cosgrove | do it up - From: Finally made it to Australia Hey Mike, Happy belated buddy. looks like you are having a good time. I told you i would keep you up to date on the Habs. They did nothing at the trade deadline. absolutely nothing. Even the sens were able to get rid of Gerber. So you are stuck with Kovalev. I'll let you know when they get knocked out of the playoffs. haha. take care. |
