So here is the plan for Heritage days
When: 1:30 PM Saturday
Where: We need a country that doesn't favor anyone so I choose the neutral country of Spain.
Who: You, me and anyone else that shows up
How: Park and ride or if you want we can carpool park at the U and walk down. Either way will work.
Why: Long weekend!
Don't worry if you can't come exactly on time, we'll be there a while and you can phone my cell at: 221-6414
See you all there!

Yay! I'm so excited. Jere and I decided to go to San Francisco for a honeymoon!

No match. I guess it could have been worse. I can't think of how, though, short of Lowe going scorched earth and, I don't know, stabbing Hemsky in both eyes. I know he's going to get fired sooner or later, burning the future (in terms of cap room and draft picks) on a longshot just makes it that much worse.
Oh, and in what's increasingly become a support group, there's street hockey at Lister Hall Sunday at 2:00. Come. Play. Commiserate.

Tay, you'd love the Met. You could probably spend three days there (I know I would have gone for a couple if I could have), but it's massive and, depending on your timing with respect to what they put out, you'd probably see that whole list of artists there. (Would that I could remember more than a few names, but I'm bad enough with them on a small scale, and this place was simply an art-splosion.)
And it's also admission by donation (though they suggest $20 for an adult).

that was the one thing I didn't do when I was in Vancouver. I had a really good time doing everything else, but damn if I'm not jealous of you Talor... all those famous artists together in one place...
any stand-out pieces in your opinion?
hell, what am I complaining about? I got to see a Klimt exhibition in Paris...
still... Dali would've been awesome.

Hmm... maybe I should have answered 'yes' when the guy saying he was calling on behalf of the Prime Minister asked me if I was a supporter of the Conservative Party. At least it might have led to an explanation for the call, instead of him just thanking me for my time and hanging up...
