The Day after- The Night before

Well its been far too long since my last blog both on the Argo site and on this site. I actually sit here at the end of the off season and the day after our first pre- season game of 2011. 31-12 over the Hamilton Tiger Cats. One would say pre-season isn't one of the finer things to look forward to and as a matter of fact winning or losing them has no bearing on the results in the playoffs. However, there are times that winning your pre-season games is a huge lift for any team. Last year we won our first game by a few points against the tabbies. then lost the second game against the Als. The previous two years were split as well. There are no trends in winning or losing the preseason games but I know that the team on the field Saturday had an air of confidence and attitude about them. I can say that that confidence and attitude that this city hasn't seen in sometime. Torontonians have a reason to be excited about one team this year.
I have just prepared for a two week getaway in the beautiful island of Hawaii. This will be probably the first time I have been absent during the season in a long time. I will be doing something I am quite passionate about aside from football. Scuba diving. I've dreamt of scuba diving and after a long hesitation, I have finally achieved certification and I am an advanced Diver and ready to finally do what I thought I would do as young child. Scuba Dive amongst the sea life of the Ocean. I will be doing this with my wife whom I am very excited to be able to share the experience with.
My hope is to be able to blog a few times while away in regards to the trip to Hawaii and then return to my blog to continue my life with the Toronto Argonauts.
Til next time.
