A Story About Dave

By
The last time I saw Dave was a BILLION years ago at one of our places in Hamilton.
Ironically he was in town for a funeral.
There were a few of us knee injured people in the room with Dave. He told us his story of how he injured his knee one time.
Dave was walking along a street in whatever town he was living in at the time, when as he crossed the road he was blindsided by a car. Dave went down and the driver continued on his way. This annoyed Dave... greatly, so knowing that his leg wasn't working very well he grabbed a passerby, put his arm around their shoulder and said "Follow that car."
I can't remember if he caught up with the car because he was demonstrating the whole human crutch thingy and all else was lost.

Rob I had forgotten about that story. I do however remember laughing so hard I was fighting to breath. David made you feel the moment. Maybe not the way he felt it but he sure made you feel like apart of the experience. Thanks for reminding me.

Bochsler Family Update

Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
