Hockey season is almost over. On the east, the eight teams that will make it are certain, and in the West it's just a question of whether Dallas or Phoenix will take the final wild card spot. Since I don't feel that differently about Dallas over Phoenix I can rank them as one unit for my list of my preference for who wins. Basically I will root for ( Read more... )

Just watched the last episode of NHL Revealed and they do a close up of Sidney Crosby doing the sign of the cross. Is he Catholic? Interesting.

So in the pre-playoff lull, let's evaluate my predictions!WEST: I did really well here! I got 7/8 teams right, and the team I got wrong was picking Nashville instead of Detroit. Also, I picked the top two teams (Chicago and Anaheim). Not bad ( Read more... )

We went to Steveston, a wharfside town south of Vancouver, for lunch today with Gordon's sister. We had planned to have lunch somewhere in town but when she showed up in her car rather than on the bus I couldn't resist the opportunity to go somewhere more exciting. This was my first time in Steveston. We had fish and chips and gelato, and the sun ( Read more... )

Slow bu steady mitten progress. I could have gone farther tonight but I want to let Pippa try it on. Although having a toddler try on an unfinished mitten might be one of those "No! Don't go in the basement! THE KILLER IS DOWN THERE!" scenarios. Well, if so, I hope I'm the Final Girl ( Read more... )
