Beach Weekend


Thanks for the great fundraiser and a really fun time. The Poverty Plainsmen did a fantastic job of entertaining the crowd and everyone danced up a storm. Even the hippo beach representative stayed up way past a hippo's bedtime!





And a little bit of snowmobiling

Jan 16

Since being in Wascana, I have met some wonderful people. A couple in particular is my next door neighbour Rick and his wife Kathleen. Kathleen is a freelance writer in the Yorkton area. She was kind enough to write an article about JD. Here is the link:

Beach Bash!


Quick FYI the Poverty Plainsmen have been kind enough to involve me in one of their shows @ the Beach. Info is on the poster, tickets are $25. A portion of the tickets will be directed towards my recovery. It would be great to see as many of you there as can make it.

New Year continued progress...

Welcome to 08 everyone! I had a wonderful holiday season, busy both in town and at the beach with family and friends. It was great seeing everyone. I have been pretty tired lately but i am diligently working on continuing to take steps and standing for increased lengths of time. Took my truck for a drive on the lake with some weary passengers - who did survive the trip. I really miss driving. FYI - wheelchairs suck in the snow, I nearly ended up making snow angels a few times.

I want to again thank all for your empowering support, recovery is happening!!

P.S. - any food including leftovers would be great alternative to Wascana mystery meat.

Thanks guys
Joel (man this took some time to type)
