Campaign 2

Posted on February 23, 2008

Hi all…

I just thought I would put another post up about a campaign for Aeroplan points!  :)

I am now at 37,638 (22,362 short of 60,000).  I have faith that with your help, I (we) can reach the goal, and purchase a flight to Zurich for the WIC/SIC/GBC 2008 together!!!!
So what do you think?  Every little bit counts, and I would very much appreciate any of your help.
I know that it costs $0.02 per mile, but with the help of a few of you out there, we can do it!  Apparantly the process is very easy, check out: http://www.aeroplan.com/use_your_miles/share_miles/launch.do My aeroplan number is:  518-997-234.  Name: Aaron Arndt

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

So I mentioned a story about the 1996 Jr. World Champs…  It’s a good one.  I’ll write about it when I have enough time.  I have been amidst mid-term exams and papers for the last month, and after Tuesday (my birthday) things should lighten up some.  Of course, that is the day of one of my biggest exams of the year. 

How ’bout some fun stuff?

on the topic of ‘96 JWC, here is a pic from one of the distance races:

 in front of me are two Chileans and an Argentinean, beside is a French skater, and behind an Australian.  I went alright in the distance races, but was far better in the sprints on the track.  That was me in my 300m TT in the last post, I finished just outside the top ten, I believe.  In the distances, it was tough as a lone Canadian amongst a very experienced junior international field.  I think I went around 20th or so in each of the finals.  Really cool experience.  Also, I don’t think I am or was that white.  That is an effect from the flash of the camera.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I was just talking to Ruben Martinez…  He says that’s him!!!  ahahahahahahaahahahahaha!!!  how awesome is that??  :)  I am having real trouble Believing it, but its true!    Too funny.  See?  Stacked competition.

Now, this picture was taken back at Scooter’s way back.  Interestingly they haven’t updated the wall paint, and this was in an era where some of the artistic skaters would practice their circles or loops or whatever they do on the inside.  Our “coach” was actually just an artistic skater who liked to yell at children.  Anyway, you can see their white high boots, and mini-skirt.  Where were the fashion police that day?  I, on the other hand, look pretty damn cool.

I still can’t believe that about Ruben. 

Peace out, think about the Miles program… Even just a few really counts!!!  :)

Thanks all,
