Friday January 18, 1991

Regular boring day at school. Franks and beans for lunch. Played basketball in gym class. JJ, Serge, Sorbs, D Scott, Peter L and i went skiing at Earl Bales Park. After skiing we all went over to eremita's house. Fred, Berta, Emily and M Field were already there.

We had lasagna for lunch. Iraq attacked Israel with seven Scud missiles. The Leafs traded Al Iafrate to the Capitals for Peter Zezel and Bob Rouse.

Wednesday January 16, 1991

After lunch I watched the 1st's basketball game: Crescent sneaked out a 35-33 win over Appleby ... great game! At 6:30pm the Coalition Forces launched Operation Desert Storm. I did homework in front of the TV while watching war coverage.  

Tuesday January 15, 1991

The U.N. Resolution 678 calling for Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait expired. In Physics class we played with a Van de Graaff generator (the thing that makes your hair spike out). After school a bunch of us played basketball in the main gym. After dinner I did homework and watched Growing Pains.

Monday January 14, 1991

We had a school trip to the Ontario Court of Justice (Osgoode Hall). JJ and I went to Druxy's for lunch after. In the evening I watched Buffalo destroy Toronto 9-3. Alex Mogilny had 5 points.

Sunday January 13, 1991

I did more packing and watched some football. In the afternoon Jordi and Irina gave me a lift to the library, where I did homework.

I shovelled the driveway and helped pack the house for our move. I went over to Eremita's house with Sorbs, D Scott, Tanya and Suzanne. We ordered pizza and watched The Godfather.

Friday January 11, 1991

We had a very emotional trip to Sunnybrook Hospital for the P.A.R.T.Y. Program. We spent time in the I.C.U. and trauma unit. JJ's mom was there volunteering at the hospital. I stayed in that night and just watched TV.

Sunday January 6, 1991

I slept in late and then spent the day helping pack up our house. Took Pepper for a long walk.

Saturday January 5, 1991

I went to the Promenade with Jordi and Al. We grabbed dinner at Pizza Hut before heading to Lime Rickey's to meet up with Guy, Mark, Brad and Brian. They met a few girls - Irina, Keren and Karen (Brian knew her already from Northland) - that came with us to Newtonbrook Bowlerama. Jordi, Al and I ended up giving Irina a ride home ... with Jordi getting her phone number.

[Note - this was one of those monumental evenings that had a ripple effect that lasted for years. Several relationships came out of this evening and a bunch of new networks were formed. Ultimately it was a coming together of several Thornlea folks with Mackenzie folks ... which soon linked us to Newtonbrook people.]

Friday January 4, 1990

I went over to Al's house. We watched Coming to America for a change. Guy, Brad, Jordi, Brian, Al and I went to Kelsey's to watch the last day of the World Juniors Hockey Championship. Thanks to Sweden typing the Soviets late in the game, Canada went on to win the Gold medal. David Chyzowski was Canada's leading scorer, while Robert reichel was the leading scorer of the tournament.

Thursday January 3, 1990

We played 2 on 2 road hockey at Roger's house. Bri and I beat up on Brad and Roger - Kevin was the goalie. It was Brad's birthday. Al, Brian and I went to see Awakenings at Canada Square. Yikes.

Wednesday January 2, 1991

Jordi and I went over to Al's place and spent the afternoon making tennis ball bombs.* I went to Toby's for dinner with Brad and Briski. We met some girls there and went bowling with them. We also stopped by Lime Rickey's (I ran into Danielle there).

* basically cut open a tennis ball, fill it with the ends of matches, leave a piece of flint inside and then seal with duct tape. Throw against a wall and boom!

Tuesday January 1, 1991
