I ain't often right but I've never been wrong. Typically posting about active transportation and bike lanes, the Oilers, the Grateful Dead, bbq, or whatever random thing pops into my head.
Taking in my first NBA game tonight. Nuggets vs Bucks.
I expected the game to be much faster than watching on television. And I was right.

Long walk. Pint. Book. I don’t know what you’re up to this afternoon, but this works for me.

And because I’m a sucker, she got a new toque. There was a time when I couldn’t have imagined buying pink Oilers merchandise. Now it’s hard to imagine anything else.

It was really important that we get a picture with the bobble heads. We went. Down to the main level at the intermission to do that and then she’s sticking out her tongue in every picture. And she thinks it’s hilarious.

Absolutely. The last/only update from ETS was about 10 hours ago.
And even now, this is what I get when planning a trip through the city website. No mention of an issue. At least at Bonnie Doon the replacement stop is across the street but I don’t think that’s the case everywhere along the line.

A pint and a slice of pizza before heading to my parents’ place for Christmas? Yeah, why not.

Team Batty had a great time cheering on Team Canada tonight. The result wasn’t what we hoped for, but it was still a fantastic night of hockey.

Figured it was worth a shot. About what I expected. Oh well.

Got out for a quick walk before the Oilers game. Just over half an hour. It’s eyelashes-icing-up cold in Edmonton right now.

Damn, Spotify. I mean, you’re probably not wrong but I’m only 46. You could have been a little more cool about this.

Nice first period from the Oilers. Started the game on time for a change, which was certainly nice. Staying out of the penalty box might something to consider in the second period.

I'm booking a hotel and have two payment options: pay now or pay a deposit equal to the full amount. I'm not an expert but I think those options are exactly the same.

Interesting decision from Emily to buy the girls thunder sticks. Yup, solid choice. No notes.
Also, the Pandas won 2-0.

Grey Cup Saturday starts early with the Spirit of Edmonton breakfast. How much vodka and orange juice is too much? Time to find out.

Team Batty went to the Oilers game tonight. Edmonton scored the tying goal in the last minute of the third and the winner in the first minute of overtime. The team was just upping the entertainment value for the girls I guess. (And somehow the scoreboard had the wrong score at the end)
