This Weekend: I’m not sure how much I’ll be updating the site over the weekend; I am supposed to go to Ottawa to the Ontario ST Championships, but I went to bed last night nice & healthy and I woke up this morning with a crazy headache, flegm, and coughing some blood (those of you who I went to A2A in 2003 might remember the blood I was coughing up on the drive over!). Anyways, I don’t know now if I should go to Ottawa- I guess you’ll read about it if I have internet access or late on Sunday night. Have a nice weekend.
