An eventful day...

Well, here I sit, typing away at my keyboard, ready to update all of my readers on my day.

Around 5 AM on June 15th, I texted goodbye to my daughter, Josie, and her mom, Shiray, as they prepared to head off on an elementary school trip to Victoria. They'll be coming back Friday evening, and as long as they are not too late getting back, I should be able to pick them up at the school and drive them home before I head off to work.

After 5 hours of sleep, I got up and watched the Game 7 of the 2011 Stanely Cup Finals (that's the National Hockey League, if you didn't know). It was only the 2nd playoff game this year that I have watched live (I DVR most of them and watch them when I get up from my sleep). What a great game! As a fan of the Boston Bruins, it was doubly-nice to see those Vancouver Canucks get beaten! Way to go, Boston! Loved seeing Mark Recchi, a former Pittsburgh Penguin (my favourite team), skating around with the Stanley Cup over his head, knowing it was the last game of his storied career.

And a very loud "BOO!" to the Vancouver fans, who showed their immaturity by, once again (they did it in 1994, as well), rioting in the streets of Vancouver. Such a shameful display of arrogance and stupidity...

After that, I watched my DVR'ed football game between BC and Calgary. In the very first of this seaosn's pre-season games between the Calgary Stampeders and the British Columbia Lions, in the Canadian Football League (best football league in the world!), BC stomped on their hated rivals, by a final score of 24 to 0. Considering BC lost both Yonus Davis [up on major drug trafficking charge in the USA] (punt returner and back-up running back) and Jerome Messam [suspended by the team and sent home for disciplanry issues of some sort] (short yardage running back), they are doing alright so far! Go Lions go!

In the middle of watching the gamne, I lay down and had an hour and a half nap, then continued watching.

And after all of this excitement, at 2:50 AM I went for a walk. I walked up the highway all the way to Leckie, and back - at a fast clip (which is how I walk), it took me an hour and a quarter to get home. Gotta lose some weight somehow; seemed like a good way to start!

And finally, all I gots to say now is...
