Glory days, we all have them.

Myself and my friend Jenny had four great days and three great nights in Toronto thanks to Cindy at Gill and Schmall.

Here's a brief out line:

• Royal York Hotel– awesome.

• Hockey Hall of Fame

• Ring ceremony for new inductees, including Chris Pronger, a good friend of Dan Sims, former champion of the Neepawa Natives (1995-1996).

• Michael Landsberg of OTR who dared Lanny McDonald to take a Movember picture with myself.

Special thanks to Margaret who works security at the Sony Theater for letting me in and upgrading my press pass, even though I didn't have my press credentials on me. Also, for inviting myself to the Golden Gala at the Metropolitan Convention Center.

The biggest surprise for Jenny was Saturday night, we didn't go to the Bomber game, we didn't go to the Leafs, we went to the Chill Bar, at 82 Bathurst. There, I had a photo taken of myself for a Movember promotion for that said bar. The company was great and the drinks were mostly free. Sunday we visited family and shopped ‘til we dropped.

Special thanks to my aunt Joyce Murdock for taking us out to Mitchell, Ont. to visit Jack and Donna and most of their family. 

We also saw some great farm land still in crop: corn, beans and flax.

That's what Cindy and Janice at Gill and Schmall do. They make any holiday better! 

Thank You!
