Back to it...

Hockey/Beer weekend was a blast. We gathered up at Priscilla's around 11:30ish or so, then headed to Meijers and to CiP for Lunch, then it was check in time at the hotel, followed by some drinks, and a walk to Barley's for some food and beer, but since the place was packed we just had some drinks and then it was gametime! It was a 4-3 win over the Wild, followed by a couple of beers at Ted's Montana Grill, and a coupla more beers at Barley's, this time with food. After Kraut balls, nachos, and a brewer's platter were consumed, it was stagggering and stumbling back to the hotel, to get ready for day 2.

It was kinda rough sleeping in the hotel since it was invaded by church youth groups who spent Friday night prowling around in large packs around the bars telling drunks to "smile, Jesus loves you", and also running the halls and cruising around on elevators at all hours of the night.

Day 2 was some shopping, lunch with chaptal, back to the hotel to rest up before the next game, and then onto Mongolian BBQ for dinner, with the full game going entourage for the night and also relocated WV-ian Jim. Then it was off to the Arena! The Ref for the evening was ( Kerry Fraser )

, I know this because of the guys a few rows down making fun of his perfect hair. It was a pretty good game, even though Denis was making me very nervous in the net. After witnessing another 4-3 win, it was back to the hotel for some TV, and sleep.

The next day it was some last minute shopping, and driving back with some pretty gnarly crosswinds. All in all it was a great weekend.

Now for an ad that was on Ilovebacon.com this ( morning )

That's about all for this morning, gotta get my game face on for a day of fun and adventure at work, wheee....
