Windsor Tomcats

As you guys may or may not be aware, I am heading back to the freezer in the Sault on October 1^st. This year was a great year playing again with the Tomcats. Nice to see some old faces and meet some new guys as well, especially the Tomcats own Red Rocker, Snowpants. 

The highlight of my season was winning Stanley’s Cup again. I was in Amherst burg with Crow on August 21^st and Crow signed more autographs with Stanley’s Cup than Kevin Westgarth did with the Stanley Cup. As a result, many children now aspire to playing hockey on Tuesday nights and drinking beer with the boys on stage. In fact, many parents were so impressed with Crow and I, they withdrew their kids from minor hockey.

As far as how I spent my summer.  Most Monday’s I spent golfing with Stevo and the Sea Lion. Every week there was a different 4^th guy. Hurricane Hann, Bucko Morris, Crow, and Snowpants to name a few. And then there was the Bucko Open and it was nice to see Marty, Sauce and Chrispy (I think he doesn’t have a phone though. Does anybody know)?  Snowpants had the best start I have ever seen at the storied Belleview Golf and Country Club. I think he was one over after 9, with the only blemish being a bogie on the difficult Par 3 5^th hole.

For those of you who haven’t golfed with Crow, he is quite good. What I can’t figure out is his swing. He addresses the ball on the tee, gives it a” whoosh”, and his finish is crazy. After his follow through, he leaps to the right about 7 feet, lands near his cart, unzips his bag and cracks a Coors light while the ball is travelling about 300 yards straight down the middle of the fairway.

Speaking of Crow, he is a true Tomcat. He gave me a part-time job at Lakeshore Auto as a Washroom Attendant/Security Guard. Seems potential customers were looking at cars, verbally agreeing to deals, asking to use the john, and leaving a horrendous stench in the Lakeshore Auto facility. My job was to sign contracts for Crow in the john. I was paid well. He gave me a lifetime supply of air freshener as compensation.

Crow and I also started a renovation/lock smith business. We now renovate vacation condos and hotels and provide free lock smith services if you forget your key in your room. Vacation destinations are happy because they prefer guests to use their keys when entering their rooms. 

Favourite Tomcat moment this summer – Golfing with La Bamba – This guy can run a multibillion dollar corporation from his golf cart but he blows as a caddy. I ask his, “What’s over that hill”? La Bamba replies,” Water”. I take a short iron out and lay up thinking there is water over the hill. We get over the hill, no water. I fired him immediately, but I gave him a good severance package. I let him buy me a beer.

On a serious note, I would like to thank Hurricane for helping my mom find some medication she needed and the only place it was in stock in the province was at the Shoppers in Tecumseh. You see fellas; this is what it means to be a Tomcat.

Tomcats Forever,

Mayday
