Wednesday Morning Musings, Earth Day Edition

Happy Earth Day my eco-friendly companions.

I hope that everyone is doing their part to make this world a little bit cleaner so that some day our children’s children can blog about us as heroes.

I saw Toronto Mayor, David Miller on cp24 this morning with the students of Our Lady of Sorrows School getting ready to plant trees. It’s pretty impressive to see that many children up, dressed and ready to do something productive while I’m still putting my pants on in the morning. What ever happened to the days when we were those kids that were hyped to make a difference and plant trees and make everything better with simple steps.

Side note: Big ups to the teachers and faculty at schools all over the world that are organizing Earth Day events. Thank you for going above and beyond in your efforts to save the planet and teach our youth to do the same.

Side note II: I’ll be tracking Mayor Miller on his Twitter feed today to see what other awesome things he and the city are planning for Earth Day.

Last night was a big night chez Wally. That’s right, it was beard removal night. There was clipping and shaving and moisturizing and in the end there was a (mostly) hairless face. I think we dropped at least 3 years in the quick look category. And as a bonus, the grey/ white hairs that were poking their way out at on the chin are gone.

Side note: I do need some new razor/ clipper products. Hint hint. (not you E-ve) If anyone is giving away free stuff I’d be happy to test it out.

Side note II: On a similar point, I love free stuff. If you have food, clothes, dvds, music, money, gadgets, trinkets, toiletries, etc. email me and we can set something up for sure!

Congrats go out to our www.hotpinkgeek.com hero Bambi Blue who told me yesterday that she will be interviewing George Takei from TV’s Star Trek. Most famous for his role as Hikaru Sulu, Takei has really done it all. Bon job Bambi, good luck.

Sad faces as Roy “Doc” Halladay lost his first start of the season last night to the Texas Rangers. We’ll get ‘em tonight boys. David Purcey takes the mound for the home nine at Rogers Centre at 7:07 pm.

I emailed Blue Jays play-by-play man Jamie Campbell last night during the game to ask him a question about Ricky Romero and his chances at April’s Rookie of the Month Award. No answer yet though. I did send it to his work email address though, so maybe he didn’t have it forwarded to his BlackBerry during the broadcast.

Thanks to E-ve for showing me a new mall yesterday. Fantastic lunch at the Bourbon Street Grill in the food court. Good times.

It’s going to start getting sunny and nice in the next few days my friends, so get your shorts and tank tops, and sandals and sunscreen ready!

Have a great day!
