When I bought the tickets for this afternoon’s women’s hockey game, I didn’t know who would be playing as it was a “classification” game, meaning that would would be playing was determined by the standings from the preliminary games. As it turns out, today’s matchup was Team China vs. Team Switzerland. Team China Team Switzerland […]

Today’s posting will be brief as I’m writing it on my iPhone. I’m writing it on my iPhone because Telus can’t get here to set up my internets until Feb 23. My thought when they told me this was ‘No problem, I’ll just tether my computer to my iPhone for a week.’. Which would be […]
What an amazing freakin’ game! The crowd at “Canada Hockey Place” ((i.e., “GM Place” except for these 17 days in February 2010)) was electric tonight.

I picked up my Olympic tickets today! Women’s hockey and men’s sledge hockey. Stoked! I had to go downtown to pick them up and downtown is really looking spiffy these days.

So here’s the “to do” list I came up with off the top of my head for all the things I need to do for my move: Can you think of anything I’ve overlooked?
Well, I’m on the plane back from the Dominican Republic and I figure now is as good a time as any to start writing my blog posting summarizing my adventures ((Tod is sound asleep, I’m sick of reading (having read 2+ books on my trip), and I’ve processed all the email that came in during […]
