Weekend Wrap

Hockey Friday night. 10:45pm game. What a pain those are on an old guy that is normally in bed by 10:30. We were supposed to face the worst goalie in the league but he was sick and was replaced by the best goalie in the league. We've now faced him in 5 of our 8 games. We're 3-0 against the other goalies but 1-3-1 against him as we lost 3-1. I got the lone goal on a deflection in front. Our GM (who was sick) took pictures and caught my goal. You can see the puck as a blur just in front of me right before the deflection. I'll try to remember to post some more pics when I get a chance.

Saturday was our company holiday party. We had dinner at the Concourse hotel and of course, it was crap. The chicken that several of us had was not cooked. Cdubya and I were smart and had a very late good lunch so it didn't matter too much. Afterwards we went to the Comedy Club on State Street and saw a pretty funny show.

Sunday morning after I finished clearing snow for the umpteenth time this year, I went to Target to finish my Xmas shopping. What a zoo... at least I'm done now.

Then we watched the Packers destroy the Rams and saw Brett break Marino's record for passing yards. Very cool. Then we watched Romo stink up the joint in Philly as the Cowboys lost their 2nd game. Makes that last second win against Detroit last week all the larger. Funniest part was Westbrook giving up an easy td and laying down at the 1 yard line in order to run out the clock. Cdubya has him on her fantasy football team and was screaming at him. I was laughing. It's her first year playing and after finishing tied for first and getting a first round bye in the playoffs, really needed that score. I think she probably lost, haven't looked yet.

Then we watched the Survivor finale. It kind of went the way I thought it would, with someone taking Todd to the final 3 despite knowing he could swing the jury with his sneaky ways. He did just that. It was good to see Courtney put some more weight on her. Apparently she was down to 86 lbs by the end. Personally, I think she looked more like 75... I actually thought she had a chance to win at the end. I knew she'd get at least 2 votes but that's all she got. Amanda, who seemed to have the best chance, really didn't respond well at the final Tribal Council and failed to convince anyone that she deserved to win, ending up getting only 1 vote.

The next season looks pretty good with a tribe of "super-fans" vs a tribe of "favorites", competitors from previous seasons that hadn't won. Should be interesting. They're in Micronesia, wherever the heck that is.
