Cartel Update - Aug 25

Yep - two days after the last meeting the full Cartel decided to get together on Friday. I guess the women folk wanted to see if they could charm their way into a few freebies - BUT NO!


Anyway - I'm getting ready to go canoeing so this is a bit abbreviated. As was the case on Wednesday we were attended to by Danielle and Ali (pictured above). The Salt & Pepper set provided by D was a wonderful Pot of Chili accompanied by a matching Fire Extinguisher. Really neat. I have also attached a picture of the lobster claws from several weeks ago.




After dinner we went to see Little Miss Sunshine. This is an excellent movie and I highly recommend it. It is heartwarming and incredibly funny.

Cartel Update - Aug 23

With the recent return of Dr. Dandycube from the wilds of northern Ontario, I decided we needed to have a meeting to update myself on his exploits in the kayak. Since the female members of the cartel work for a living only Dr. DC and I were in attendance, along with Danielle (pictured below) and Ali from Wild Wing of course.
The night was a special treat for the boys. Since the females were not in attendance we were showered with affection by the staff and by the end of the night we each left with a Bud Light cap as well as box of 6 engraved beer glasses. They love us at Wild Wing - I'm not sure if it is our good looks, personality or our wealth of money - but - who cares we were treated like royalty.

After Wild Wing we were off to see the soon to be cult classic SNAKES ON A PLANE! You can't beat Samuel L. Jackson for entertainment value. Great movie despite the premise.

Cartel Update - Aug 11

Dr. DC and I met at Wild Wing on Friday where I dined on a fine selection of wings before the much delayed Mrs. C (LED) joined us at 5:30. Having recently completed her tour of the northern shores of Lake Erie (now that's excitement), Dr. DC and I were favoured with a fine selection of photos documenting her excursion.

Both Ali and an old favourite Danielle were in attendance this week and were presented with a Salt & Pepper set in the form of a pair of lobster claws (from my trip to the coast a few weeks back). Unfortunately HBB failed to bring the camera to document the occasion therefore no pictures of the Salt & Pepper set nor of the lovely ladies in waiting are available.

After dinner we proceeded to the movies and wound up seeing Pulse for no other reason than it happened to be starting upon our arrival. All in all it was a crappy movie and I wouldn't recommend even watching it on DVD. After the movie Mrs. C and I snuck into a second movie that happened to be starting as we exited from Pulse. Dr. DC, ever the law abiding citizen, failed to join us as Mrs. C and I took the law into our own hands feeling somewhat justified having spent good money on a really bad movie already.

The movie we saw was Descent which was not half bad all things considered. At one point early in the movie there was a frightening scene which caught Mrs. C off guard causing her to scream out 'Jesus Murphy'. I almost pissed myself with laughter as this was the first, and I suspect, the last time I will ever hear her curse. Two movies under our belt and we headed home bringing to close another Cartel Week.

Weekly Cartel Update - Aug 1

Today Dr. DC was able to paddle in from the wilds of Northern Ontario and meet with me at Wild Wing for an impromptu cartel meeting. As you can see, Dr. DC has recently taken the plunge into the world of kayaking.

Anyway - the most lovely Ali was there again this week and took care of out beverage and food needs for which she was presented with a Salt & Pepper train set. This is one which I had picked up from the Cog Railway store at the base of Mount Washington while on my recent New England trip.















After wings we headed out to watch Miami Vice. If you are a fan of the original TV show then you will probably enjoy this movie. If you are looking for a movie filled with bikini babes, fast cars, boat chases, and a lot of shooting - well then not so much will you enjoy it. It was just ok in my book.
