Gino, Gino, Gino!!!

I had a personal training session this morning with Logan Dube at the Steve Nash Sports Club.  She has a scientific approach which makes sense and totally works.  Logan absolutely destroyed my chest with the exercises she gave me today and I saw immediate results!  "Impressive, most impressive..."  :-)

After my workout, I bussed over to the Vancouver General Hospital...

where a flashmob was organized...

to cheer-on former Vancouver Canuck...

Gino Odjick.

We were all shocked by the news of his terminal illness,

so we came down to show our support for the enforcer.

We could see him waving from a window on the top floor as we chanted his name!

He decided to come down to greet the fans...

and thank us for granting his wish.

The crowd went crazy because we all love the big guy!  :-)

Yup, I made sure to wear my jersey too.  ;-)

When I returned downtown, I came by this event at the Vans store!

This was too good to pass-up, but it seemed Lord Vader was not a fan.  Hehe...

Heavy Metal Bingo

Babanessa inspired me to wear my purple Fluevogs tonight!

The Haleys invited me...

 to the Manchester for...

some Heavy Metal Bingo!

Brendan, Sarah, Shawn, Wendy, and I came close to winning a couple times, but no cigar, except for the one in Shawn's shorts.  Hehe...

That's right, I ordered a bloody Cheesecake for dessert!

Fun times you guys!!!  :-)

Gus Meets Kelvin & Aiden!

Beautiful weather today at Deep Cove!

Let's add some spice to it.

I mean Gus!  ;-)

I dig the Parks Department's style.  Haha!

Buddy finally arrived.

Gus meets Kelvin and Aiden!

We hiked along the Baden-Powell Trail...

all the way to Quarry Rock!

Aiden and his dad.

Let's go pano!

Gus is pretty comfortable up here.

Such a happy boy!

One last look before we head down.

Team SAE.  ;-)

Down the rope we go!

In the late afternoon, Gus and I dropped by his grandparents for some dinner.

Big thanks to Charlene and Brian for having us over!!!  :-)

Gus Meets Charlene & Sarah!

Yay, I picked this guy up in the morning!

We went for a stroll through Stanley Park where he decided to go for a dip in a pond.  Yuck!  I dropped him off at his home before going to the gym this afternoon.

After taking a few classes at the Steve Nash Sports Club, I went back to Gus' place and picked him up for another adventure!

We took a ferry, so we could meet Charlene at Fishermen's Wharf!

She killed some time with Paul and his friend's dog Ruby before Gus and I arrived.

Gus meets Charlene!

Lunch time at Go Fish!

We were feeling for some dessert, so walked over to Bridges...

and ordered some Gelati!

They make their own here and it's good!

After Gus and I walked Charlene home, we met-up with Sarah!  I haven't seen this Bobo in a long time!  It was perfect timing because she, Shawn, and their friend Andy were stepping out to play basketball.

We walked over to the False Creek Community Centre.

Gus meets Sarah!

Andy and Shawn played a little one-on-one while we watched.  We eventually parted ways once the sun began to set.

So true!  ;-)
