$30 and all I got was a burger!


It was great that Sandy and Jane were so hospitable. It was great to see everyone on a beautiful June afternoon. No rain this time. All the food was also great. Everything was marvelous. Still maybe it's me but I thought $30 tickets for a BBQ was a bit much. Afterall it was still hot dogs and hamburgers. It's not like we were getting steak. Because I know that Sandy can get pretty cagey. I can see him using the police as part of an elaborate fundraising event. I just hope he got at least a 50:50 split on the proceeds.

By the way, if you ever get a flat tire in an arena parking lot in Stoney Creek or Uxbridge, Rich is the guy you want to see. Very handy with a jack.
