Mrs MadJack and I will arrive in Montreal on Thursday afternoon.........I'll bring along my not-so-trusty laptop, and try to post anything interesting.......which means I'll not post about the time Mrs MadJack spends shoe shopping.............
For those who don't know, Mrs MadJack is filipina, and has this "thing" for shoes.................it isn't just Imelda, it's a national trait it seems.
Will be leaving early Thursday morning by car, wife has plans already made up, she used to live there and has family but I told her we are going to the Village at least one night to get hammered!!
I did some digging and found this great stat. this was the Odds on this years CFL season.

Mrs. MadJack and I arrived here at noon; we're at the Marriott Chateau Champlain.
Met and had a nice chat with Eric Tillman, who happened to be in the same bar for lunch as we were.......he was dining with Gil Scott.
Later on met Kerry Joseph, Angleo Mosca, and my personal highlight of the day, meeting CFL great Prince Hal Patterson...nice chat with all, we'll have great pics to post upon our return.
Well this morning we met (and chatted with, and got pictures with), Pinball Clemons and Matt Dunigan (who vehemently denies, by the way, that rumour about him leaving TSN for a coaching position...he specifically told me to pass that on). Also met Dunigan's parents.
Rest of the day was spent tagging along with Mrs MadJack while she went shopping............which, on a scale of enjoyment for me, ranks right there with being in a dark, locked room, reading back issues of Popular Mechanics Magazine. Oh well, the price one has to pay, I suppose.....
