Hockey

Bob and I went to our first pro hockey game yesterday. The tickets were a whopping $110 a piece, but we got them for our favourite price: FREE, thanks to Bob’s boss. It was the Colorado Avalanche v. Mighty Ducks. Colorado ended up losing.

The goalie for the Ducks had a baby face and I had my doubts that he was over 18 years old. Come to find out, he’s 26 and from Switzerland. Even more surprising was that he appeared to have all of his teeth! During the game I pondered if hockey players enjoy slapstick comedies. Bob didn’t appreciate my joke and revoked my speaking privileges for 5 minutes.

During halftime they had 3 people dressed as lotto balls try to knock each other down. It was pretty much sumo wresting and once knocked down they would roll around and have a hard time getting up. I’d like to try it some day.

My parent’s hand-me-down sofa lasted over two decades. I was never a fan of the blue stripes and small pink flowers. After several months of casually looking at furniture, I finally found a sofa that met our criteria:

  1. No leather
  2. No Microfiber
  3. No flowers
  4. Not too soft
  5. No fluff
  6. Clean lines a must

I found a place called Cort that rents furniture for staging houses. They also sell this furniture at a discounted “used” price, even though the furniture is never really used to sit on. So we got a great deal on a “nearly new” sofa and chair.
