Long weekend, indeed

Thank goodness for North Regina Little League baseball - Jacob's team has games today and tomorrow. Otherwise I wouldn't see him for the entire long weekend, and that would suck! Now, if we can just do something about the team's three-game losing skid...

Andy Fantuz created quite a stir upon arriving at Rider camp this week. Great - it was getting boring being the only wildly popular ex Western Mustang around here! I wish folks would stop comparing him to Ray Elgaard though. Totally different styles. Fantuz is a lot less "smashmouth" than Elgaard was. Oh well, at least the fans and media are excited about a Canadian draft pick - which is an exciting change of pace. He's no Ducarmel Augustin, but he'll do!

Is it just me, or have the Edmonton Oilers not captured Canada's attention the way the Calgary Flames did on their march to the Stanley Cup finals two years ago? Oh, I suppose there's lots of time for the bandwagon-jumpers to make their move yet, but I'm just not sensing the same level of excitement surrounding the Oil. They are playing awfully well though.

Time to see if I can scare up a tennis game this weekend. Who's up for some of that action?
