That said, I'll be spending my Mother's Day in a gym in Kamloops, watching my son compete.
Quoting
My niece has a few soccer games this weekend, too. What's with that, anyway? Mother's Day is NOT about driving your kids all over the place to soccer games and whatnot.
Sorry to hear that Ten .Family always come first though Have a good trip.I'll be all over town with the mothers day soccer tourney.7 games in three days should wipe out the kids

I used to think that was a Bogus claim years ago, but not anymore.

AHA! ANOTHER contributor to Kamloops' reputation as "Tournament Capitol of B.C."!!!

Hmmmmm. is it just me? - or did the conversation just DIE, the minute I brought that up?

We should get together for a beer someday - if you're allowed out of the house, that is.

Good for you (and them!)
2 soccer players and a rugby player all on the honour role too

I don't think it qualifies as a tournament, Ten Packs, as it's a gymnastics competition.
Thanks, mrmom... I'll let you know how he does, although he might have to pull out of several events. He scraped up his hands pretty badly digging clams at the beach today.
Good thing his best evens are floor and vault.
THe best part is hanging out at the hotel pool with the other boys though. He'll be fine for that.

I have an aquaintance who owns one of the largest hotels downtown (the Thompson), and he says it is a BIG asset to his business.

Got that, but the City has REALLY done a lot to drum up ANYTHING invoving teams, partners, whatever - in SPORTS in the last 10 or so years.... I initially thought they were betting on the wrong horse, but I can't say that now. For instance, you wouldnt believe the number of BONSPIELS that happen here, winter AND summer!

I might have tried to hit you up for a good rate. Think the desk would be impressed if I said I knew Ten Packs?
Second thought... they might have charged me double. :P

Oh sure... Tell me that now... AFTER we've booked elsewhere.

Oh Derek is an ULTRA-conservative! He has oft told how he enjoyed a trip he took back in the late 90's on what he called the "Gloat-Boat", in the Caribbean with numerous Republicans (including Newt Gingrich, who he has personally chatted with). Not sure you would get a "cut" on rates.
Although! Back about ten years ago, when my wife and I were a bit strapped (2 kids in College), he DID "comp" us a long weekend at one of his "cabins" at Lac Le Jeune - he also owns THAT resort.
SOME CABIN!
Log HOUSE! Probably 1000 sq. feet, with an upstairs. Lake access. Fire-wood storage, out the back door about 15 feet. A young lady came by around 11:00 to make our bed up. Yeah, THAT was hard to take!!!
Everything from a Stereo to a fully-equipped Kitchen; micro-wave and all, nicer Living-room furniture than I have. . . I would have KILLED to have owned that place, if I could go south for the winter.
(Lac Le Jeune can get snow from October to May.... Rev might think that's okay, but as we all know, he is kinda "diddled-in-the-head".)
