Ryan Long and I went down to Maple Leaf Gardens and got ourselves into the New York Rangers practice. Ryan was a huge James Patrick fan and that is who got us in. We met all the Rangers and got our cards autographed. We then went over to Cliff's house and played some road hockey. Then we all watched the game.

I stayed home from school because I wasn't feeling well. I spent the day watching TV and then started reading Catcher In The Rye for English class.
Note: Cliche, yes ... but it remains one of my favourite books of all time. I remember feeling like a changed person after reading that book. It exposed me to things I was totally oblivious about. However, there was also lots that I didn't comprehend that I discovered not long ago when I reread the book.

We had a pop quiz in health class. I went over to Min's house after school to work on our project. I watched the Bruins vs. Leafs game.

We had chicken nuggets for lunch. A bunch of us stayed after school and played cosom hockey in Highland Hall. Mr. Davies (teacher) played with us. I had a goal and 4 assists.
Note: Steven Davies was one of my favourite teachers at Crescent. Super cool guy (taught History, World Religions, etc.) that almost made the NHL as a goalie. I think he also taught at a goalie camp and knew a bunch of the guys in the NHL, including John Tanner (who never did anything but was on the Nordiques).

[Note - this may have been the first time I met Buntman. He was a recent immigrant from South Africa and would go on to become a good friend for a little while. Who knew then that he would go on to become very religious Jew and move to Israel ... and in fact marry a relative of Guy's! Small world that works in amazing ways.]
Monday December 26, 1988
Boxing Day. Cliff and I went to National Gym, then went over to his house for dinner*. We watched the Leafs vs. Islanders.
* I wanted to be polite so kept quiet, but his mom served runny eggs. I hate runny eggs. Hurled in his bathroom.
