| 7 of the 6-Pack in the Muskokas |
This is the reason we traveled across country. 2 years ago, six of my best friends from high school, had a reunion up in Revelstoke and we decided that we would do another for our 40th birthday’s. It was decided to head East this time, to where it all began (at least close to Brampton). I met up with Sacha for the first time since his accident (he broke his neck mountain biking in early July), and his parents. Great to see Tage and Viv again, and even better to see how well Sacha was doing after the accident. It’s a strange thing to hear that one of your best friends’ is seriously injured and you can’t do anything about it. Sacha is in great spirits and recovering more everyday!!

| Rob celebrating my 40th birthday with Ripps |
Mark, Sacha and I picked up Colin on the way up to the Muskokas to the Stella and Steve’s cottage/house on Dickie Lake up in beautiful cottage country, Ontario. Stella and Steve had graciously ‘loaned’ us the house for the weekend and taken off camping themselves – how nice is that! The following day, Rob, Jeff and Greg arrived and we met at the local pub – The Pav. Always a good laugh when we all get together. Only Mike was missing, but not to worry, we had a life size cardboard cutout and Mike’s photo mounted on it. Mike traveled with us everywhere.
Of course, the first night is a big celebration, with plenty of single malts drank, and cigars smoked. And the next morning is filled with hangover’s from our 40 year old bodies.
You might ask, what did we do all weekend, and the answer is ……nothing really. Unless you include drunken swims in the lake, late night canoes, and Frisbee golf with Tupperware lids. We sure had our quota of laughs though – very healthy. I don’t think I ever laugh as much as when I am with these characters. *Stub
