the contender, baseball home opener, and vacation time

sergio mora has won the title of "the contender" defeating peter manfredo jr. in a great 7 round fight. i think sergio won it in the 7th round with an all round flurry. up until then, the fight was pretty close.

i now have my ticket for the edmonton cracker-cats home opener on friday night. of course, im gonna be parked in the right field bleachers (so call me a bleacher bum). looking forward to it. the first ever home opener and i gotta be there.

i am officially on my vacation. WOOHOO. started after i punched out at 4 pm today. a week away from THE mall. i like the thought of sleeping in every day already. a great opportunity to go to any other mall besides w.e.m.

Dude! I wish I could be there to see the home opener with you. That's cool. And congrats on the vacation. I hope you enjoy every single minute of it. Got any plans beyond the game and sleeping in? My advice: stay away from all malls! I'd take a walk through the river valley if I were you. Pick up a Vue Weekly and find a museum to go to. You might like the Ed Tel Telephone Museum off Whyte Ave. It's pretty cool. Or go see an IMAX film at the Odysseum. Or go fly a kite. I did that yesterday, and even though a tree tried to eat my kite, I got it down with the help of a nice man with a long bamboo pole. Whatever you do, be sure to enjoy it. Cheers!

Their roster fielded exclusively amateur players. The United States, as mentioned, won gold, Soviet Union the silver and Sweden the bronze. Next is the 1984 tournament in Sarajevo Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦).
