Today is your day Boomer! This warm spring weather has brought out a new THIRST in many Boomers....it means it is BEER TIME! And I notice my fellow golfing buddies are ordering cold brews on the 19th hole after 18 holes. In fact, many golfers (especially males) seem to bring beer with them on the course. I remember two younger men I played with a few years ago drank one beer each for every two holes and had to pee on a tree on every third hole! Needless to say their scores and swings began to deteriorate very quickly. Anyway, I found a new light jacket (for light beer?) for these brew boys (see picture!) because you never know when you are going to need an opener. As for me, I can't do it. I will definitely fall asleep after only one beer when I get home and waste away the rest of the day; my wife would not be impressed. Boomers, I guess this is a sign of "oldness"...a word I really don't want to use at age 62. Mugs up Boomers, and cheers!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
