It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Actually this is untrue, I really liked Regina and had some time to relax and catch up on some things.

The first full day I was there I contact a radio station and a couple of newspapers. No bites yet but it was good to talk to some media. I then checked out my coach at the Saskatchewan hall of fame.

Then proceeded to have a few too many beers at O’Hanlans pub in the downtown core where they have a beautiful park buzzing with dragon flies. Literally there were thousands and not a mosquito in sight. Mom don’t worry I had this former CFL’er looking out for me.

The group he was with were a lot of fun and Rachel took the lead rounding up some donations. I took a cab home but it was dicey as Dan Jeffries would say.

The next day I spent catching up in the nice shade of a tree facing Wascana Lake. I also took a tour of the Legislative building.  I rode around the eastern side of the lake had dinner and called it a night.

Then came Canada day. I participated in the strong man competition by watching. Then I decided to go get my bicycle as a prop and ask people for donations. I hit a lot of nice people and raised $182!

That about sums it up but I really enjoyed it and would love to go back some time!
