Oilfeld

I really don’t have anything to add that hasn’t already been written about the Oilers’ season thus far. I had some extra time over the holidays and decided to create a holiday themed ‘comic strip’ about the Oilers and base it around the iconic Seinfeld episode, “The Strike.” That episode featured the classic Frank Constanza created holiday ‘Festivus.’

For the strip below, Daryl Katz takes the place of George’s boss Mr. Kruger. Kevin Lowe takes the place of George and Bob Nicholson is Frank Constanza (George’s dad).

If you are a Seinfeld fan you may enjoy the below. If you are not or haven’t seen the episode you may not.

Happy New Year!

Really Long Run for MS

As a person living with Multiple Sclerosis I am very fortunate. I still play hockey, run, and do most everything I was able to do before I was diagnosed. For me the worst symptoms are fatigue (sometimes extreme), issues with my balance, and constant numbness in my hands and feet. However, I am one of the lucky ones and many with this disease find simple things like walking next to impossible and there are many who can’t walk at all. Every spring my wife and I ride in the MS Bike from Leduc to Camrose. This year I have decided to run the 85 KM (one leg of the MS Bike) in a single day two weeks prior to the big ride to raise money and awareness. On May 23rd, 2015 I will begin the run in the wee hours of the morning and be met during the day by others who will run portions with me (and hopefully keep me sane and motivated). All money raised will go to the MS Society of Canada. If you would like to know more, donate, volunteer, or even join me for a portion of the run you can get more information by clicking here.
