Congratulations Rob & Larissa!

I was just informed that my long-time friend Rob Galea and his girlfriend Larissa Hogan have become engaged!

I know Rob from the Western days, when we both ended up living on 5-West at the then-brand new Elgin Hall. Four years of the Rideout, Sammy's Souvlaki, backyard BBQs, and New Years Parties at the Galea residence ensued. Of course, let's not forget the (in)famous annual camping trip. Rob is a staple member, having missed absolutely 0 trips since the tradition was founded in 2001. I would say Rob deserves an award for this, but Larissa probably equally deserves one for putting up with the trip and the controversy that often surrounds it.

These days Larissa teaches and Rob works at a law firm in downtown Toronto. Also, it should be noted that Rob has excellent butcher credentials. If you're in the market for a steak or some quality bacon speak to this man, but beware, he bills by the 1/6 of an hour for this precious advice.

Once again, congratulations Rob & Larissa!
