Was it not disappointing to see the Caps/Pens series end in such a bad way? Game 7’s in hockey are the most intense games of the year but someone forgot to tell Washington that. I was outside assembling my new BBQ (which kicks ass by the way) and came in to check on the game and saw it was 5-1 at the start of the 3rd period for Pittsburgh. Now I didn’t see much of the game but from the highlights on TSN it looked like Washington didn’t even care. Hate to say it but Russians (Ovechkin, Kovlov, Fedorov, Varlamov, Semin) just don’t have the passion and determination that Canadians (Fleury, Crosby, Letang, Cooke) have. Great previous 6 games though!


I have the worst craving in the world to go to Regina and watch some Riders football! Only 50 more days until the Riders open their season at home vs the BC Lions. Can’t wait!!!


I was not impressed yesterday afternoon with the customer service in Wal-Mart at Cold Lake. We went there to buy a BBQ (as mentioned above it kicks ass) and they had them all stacked up. So we went to a Wal-Mart worker and asked for some assistance. 10 minutes later, nothing. So we kindly went back and told them we would like to buy a BBQ so could we have some help. 10 minutes later 2 girls came along, who looked as if they couldn’t even lift a jug of milk, and complained that they needed to help me so they told me to go up front and they would bring it up to me. Another 10 minutes later they came with the big BBQ balanced on a shopping cart, rolled it up to me and walked away. So I was left to load this 150 lb box into my vehicle alone and had to balance it on the top of a little shaky shopping cart through the parking lot. Maybe next time I’ll check out Zellers.
