SAT.AUG.01: Cycled over 2 OSHEAGA MUSIC FESTIVAL. Moon 2 the left; Fireworks 2 the right; COLDPLAY center stage ... priceless. A perfect day for the festival. Also saw JASON MRAZ, THE ROOTS, CHINATOWN, LYKKE LI (from Sweden). Sunny, warm and a great turnout. AFTER the COLDPLAY concert wrapped got snagged in the vast line queued up at the metro (subway) station thus it took a good half-hour to finally get to where my bicycle was locked up and head for home. 

Afternoon: Went for  cycle. Stopped into Beach Volleyball. Stopped into Atwater Market. Baby blueberries ... yummy.Stopped into Metro Plus grocery store. Praline ice cream ... decadent.

Morning: Mucho MLB trade deadline deals.The Red Sox R looking good with the addition of Victor Martinez (C); Casey Kotchman (1B.) The Jays traded Scotty Rolen (3B) to Red for Encarnacion (3B) but no mega-deal for Doc Holliday who stayed with the Jays after many a trade discussion.

MON. JULY 6: Well the good weather of Sunday dissipated by Monday. Downtown in the afternoon to run a few errands and shop. Caught the 5:45 pm Advanced Budokon class @ Zazen Spa. Loked like rain again for our Monday night softball game but we got lucky this time. For the 9:30 pm game @ Le Ber park in Point St. Charles the rain held off other than a few sprinkles. The puddles in the outfield from the previous week had dried up. A tight game but we won it 7-6 giving the Kognax a 5-1 record in the season. We caught some extra batting practice until midnight when they turned the park lights off.

SUN. JULY 5: Up and at em early! The human body can be quite resilient can't it at times? Celebrated J-4 with Jaegermeister Shots and what not on Saturday night. With Quebec's St, Jean holiday June 24, Canada Day July 1, and USA Independence Day on July 4 we have 3 big holidays bunched in together, None the worse for wear from the soiree I was up and into mischief early Sunday, Much to one's surprise, an even better discovery than not waking up with a hang over, was that it was actually a decent day of weather! For summer 2009 that is like a freak weather occurrence. Sunny, breezy, 20-25 Celsius (70-75 f.)

Enjoyed the day pretty much outside. BUDOKON workout in the Old Port Park. Some cute kid like 5-years old came over to show his martial arts moves while i was practicing.  LMAO. When his mom strolled over she informed me the kid is doing Karate classes. Pretty cool they start them that young into Martial Arts. Fighting an wrestling in the school yard (sometimes kid's horseplay, sometimes you were in trouble) was the only fight training I got until we were introduced to Greco-Roman wrestling in high school gym classes. Low to the ground heffers always ruled thse wrestling contests. 

Ended the afternoon at a local cafe. Sunday night baseball B4 heading down to the Jazz Festival  to catch the tail end of the big-ass Patrick Watson concert (local boy made it big) and then onto the Loto Quebec Stage where its all about DA BLUES. Enjoyed a frosty while listening to Steve Strongman and his band from Hamilton, Ontario doing a set from 11:00 pm to midnight.

TUE. JUNE 30: Figures, sunny the day after our softball game. Another mid-week stat holiday coming on Wednesday. This time Canada Day. Always entertainment in the Old Port right near where I live. Stevie Wonder scheduled Tuesday evening for the launch of the Montreal Jazz Fest with a big-ass freebie concert in the street. Worked from the home office and the cafe. An evening meeting on my agenda.

Cycled up to the Le Plateau borough for the meeting @ 6:30 pm. Attended the Board of Directors meeting for the community radio station, CINQ FM 102.3, where I am a show producer and host but also was elected as a member of the board (or CA in French) for 2009.

CFL Alouettes set to start the season on Canada Day in Calgary. Go ALS Go! That new roof on the Wimbledon tennis centre court in England is pretty slick. Uh-Oh-Ah. Beats anything we did with Olympic Stadium for a retractable roof. 

NHL Free Agent Frenzy for July 1 could make for hordes of deals. Based on contract offers sent out or not sent out kinda looked like Saku Koivu won't be back for the Habs next season. Much speculation which as fans we all dig. What is certain is that we'll be seeing several new faces on the Habs bench come the 2009-2010 season.

I can relate to that as a UFA, Unrestricted Free Agent, myself. Between contracts for my Management - Solutions Consulting Business and wrapping my radio program's season. Have 2 more radio shows to produce B4 I take my summer hiatus after the July 11 episode #127 of The Earth Lounge.
