I'm starting to believe Gord's going to get every possible award a man can get in his field and also in relation to his extra-caricular activities! I recal on one thread last year,I said he'd soon be eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Could happen at this rate! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

the newest inductees are Leonard Cohen and Estelle Klein. We will lay

Well, to be more specific, the picture was taken last
year - about 15 minutes after the city guys laid the thing
in the sidewalk. The pavement was still pretty
wet :)

And you didn't feel the urge to carve your name into the wet cement? Just imagine. It could have stood forever right next to Gord's name.

The look like the shiny sneakers Gord was wearing a few years ago. He had a black pair and a silver pair. Remember?
