I’m bored… I just needed a break. I wish I was Pat… he works at ATB. They got slammed by the latest Windows worm (see entry below). He’s at the mall now after being sent home.
I guess that’s the down side of having a Mac here at work for our email / fileserver…. it doesn’t crash or crippled by worms / viruses.
Tammy and I now have a new understanding… when I feel the need to rant I do it here rather than bore her on the car ride home. I joked to her today that soon she will have ‘blog’ written on her left palm so she can just hold that up when I start to ramble on. I never really know if people are really reading my blog or if the only ones ‘listening’ are all the search engines indexing my site.
Well we had our first annual garage sale this weekend. We made some pretty good money. Got rid of a bunch of crap and some decent stuff also. The highlights included:
- a young kid wondering what games my old school Motorola flip phone played
- the neighbor boy buying gifts for his mom’s anniversary
- the friendly people we basically gave stuff away to
- the rude people we made pay full price
- the guy I thought for sure was going to crack his skull test driving roller blades down our drive way
We also had a BBQ on Sunday night which went well (with our new 50,000 BTU/HR kick-ass BBQ) except for the rain. We all stood on the deck in denial as the rain poured down. Of course as soon as we finished dinner the sun re-apeared.
Congratulations to Tammy and her teammates from her work (CNRL) placing 4th place in their division at the 2005 Dragon Boat Festival. There are more details on Tammy’s Blog.
Now that hockey’s back on I can look at these photo’s with out crying. This is me and Pat at the SLC 2002 Olympics gold medal Women’s hockey game. If you have the DVD of the game we are in the crowd right after the USA scores their 2nd (and last) goal. At 1:32:36 on the DVD and at 17:20 in the 3rd period you can see us sitting in front of the two flag waving American women behind us.
At the start of the game we offered to help them with the words to O-Canada at the end of the game. They didn’t seem interested.
